A blogger has also written a detailed overview (in 2018) on actually using this language: https://danyspin97.org/blog/getting-started-with-execline-sc...

The syntax somewhat reminds of Rebol/Red, but feels cleaner. Interesting stuff with great, thought-provoking documentation; definitely a candidate for "an ecosystem that fits inside the head of a single person".

I love the core (almost forth-like) idea of spawn'ing sections of the argv[] to 'interpret' sub-blocks

rather than having a central interpreter.

(very suckless)

You take that back! (suckless is villified these days i hear)
