From the post, I'm assuming it will be similar in syntax to Ioke. You can see its syntax at http://ioke.org/

He mentioned it's similar to Ioke, which looks like this

  if(42 < 43,
    "wow, math comparison works" println,
    "we have some serious trouble" println)

Is there an example of AST manipulation?
