Interested, yes.  I hear about these all the time;  I'd really like to
see a demonstration where the productivity gain justifies the existence
of yet-another-language.  All I ever hear about such things are
theoretical arguments [which usually remind me of the time a 'CS guru'
scolded me on why the use of COBOL was syntactically more appropriate to
financial applications vs. using object oriented tool chains].
