Just a quick note to explain the relative silence here recently. I've started rewriting Irken in itself, originally just as an exercise, but now with a little enthusiasm. Unfortunately there's the danger of second-system syndrome, which I'm trying to keep under control by focusing on eliminating design flaws, and not introducing new features.

Currently, I have the reader, the transformer, and the macro packages written. Next up are the pattern match compiler and the typing engine. Should be pretty smooth sailing after that.
