It's purely functional and is incredibly only about 200 lines of Scheme. Even more surprising is that the minimal design is *stunningly* efficient. The beauty of such a tiny system is that it's simple to improve. They recently added constraint logic programming over any domain with about 600-700 more lines of code. David
