(See https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/handle/1885/112723 for the = PDF.) It seems really interesting to me, and for what appears to be some relative= ly minor refinements to the language (via aspects, mainly; only one keyword= [which might not be ABSOLUTELY needed]) provides some rather large advance= s in both usability and analyzability/provability of tasks.
