      Comment:

      This is a very elegant and probably very useful language. If I understood things right, it incorporates the content and or functionality of the Measure assement language developed by ONC.

      The only hold back to my enthusiasm is the lack of any information about how its current status as an operating language, background on what it is written in and sense of whether it will be fast enough, and fact that this is a new language in a relatively narrow field.

      I did a web search and found on Black Duck : https://www.openhub.net/p/fluentpath/widgets some further information. It asserted that it is written in C++, but also that development had tapered off. Dont know if that web site would or should know anything.

      Did not find anything in the specification to indicate whether there are any escapes e.g. that one could write their own extensions in JavaScript for example.

      I like the idea, think you guys know what you are doing, but for a brand new language think the proposal really should have some confidence building content. To know that it will be sustained, that it is being used and it has good performance.
