I have some ideas that I'd like to experiment with when teaching programming, basically going from low abstraction to more abstraction; Kalimat is an implementation for those ideas. Also I wanted to make a programming language that kind of looks like Arabic and less like math :) You could make > an arabic lisp.

Besides rekindling my love for Lisp, such a project would test if SmallVM is actually good for hosting multiple languages or not. Until then, I might be able to steal some Lispy features like macros. I've outlined some of my thoughts about adding macro systems to the language here: http://iamsamy.blogspot.com/2011/12/dreams-about-metaprogramming-in-kalimat.html They kind of look like Julia's macros...
