The Debris Cathedral

[kurtmckee]

For a very long time I've been writing code at my job that automates some very tedious tasks. It's not Python code, though! It's a macro language that has saved the company a lot of time and energy but suffers from severe limitations:

• No scoping -- everything is in a global namespace.
• No functions -- the entire language is based on keywords.

Slap some paint on it, get it looking all nice and respectable, add a priest, and baby you got a Sistine Chapel goin'!
