I wrote some notes about how XXL works here: https://github.com/tlack/xxl/blob/master/doc/implementation....

Hey guys, author here. I was holding off on posting a Show HN here until I get more documentation together, but somehow that task seems to be taking longer and longer, so I guess it is good that this has been posted. XXL is pretty young and a bit slow and buggy yet, but I think it has some interesting ideas. I drew most of my inspiration from K/Q and Erlang and some second hand APL and J. My goal is to allow concise expression of complex algorithms, minimize magic at the cost of some terseness and, provide a robust, composable standard API (with stuff like mailboxes, a built-in pastebin for any data/code, really easy to generate parse trees, and advanced looping verbs like recurse, exhaust, deep, and wide). You can get a sense of the language from my non-programmer introduction here: https://github.com/tlack/xxl/blob/master/doc/groceries.
