I think it could be a mistake to put this out there when it's still so early. The features are not there(0) yet and it's likely to be overhauled a lot. It's an extremely exciting proposition and I both hope and think it will become a force to be reckoned with in the erlang community. (The name is currently not well accepted on the erlang mailing list, by the way, but is yet to be commented on by j14159) 0 - https://github.com/j14159/mlfe#whats-missing
