Author here. Thanks for all the kind words. README files are important, and I worked quite a bit on this one. Had some fun writing it.

A quick summary of the language itself: I felt I needed a smaller language than Perl 6 to "think" in as I mapped out exactly what we want from macros. If you're curious about the latest shape of that thinking process, you'll want to read https://gist.github.com/masak/13210c51f034f931af0c .

Implementing 007 has been a fun thing, and largely easier than I thought. Mostly bottlenecked by available tuits. Somewhat surprisingly, I found it much tougher going to implement user-defined operators than to implement macros. (But now that we have both, you can also haz custom operator macros!)

Next up, I plan to use 007 to map out as much of the terrain as possible covered by that gist above. That is, I want 007 to get synthetic Qtrees, really good handling of hygiene and lexical scoping, statement macros, maybe multis if I feel it's worth the trouble, introspection of Qtrees, and visitor macros.
