P.S.: The project seems to be "rambunctiously unencumbered" by the idea of delivering an actual, running system. C.f.: TheCurseOfXanadu.

Not to mention rambunctiously unencumbered by the idea of reality. And I quote: "The Concepts project introduces a new software technology to make redundant all current programming languages[...]" Okay, great idea, but it ain't gonna happen. -- JosephDale

Lol... Applications are formed by using precisely defined 'Concepts.' To use their example of footnotes and layouts... the system has a concept of footnotes, concept of layouts, and the concept that a footnote can be layed out. And this is different from programming... how?
