Certainly not this MontE.  That name has been kicked around as a
hypothetical E/Python blend for at least the better part of a decade,
but this /serious/ attempt at specifying and implementing it is brand
new (github suggests 2014).

Corbyn Simpson has been floating around in #erights since mid last
year by my count, but isn't subscribed to any of these lists; he was
working in graphics drivers when I first met him about four years ago
iirc.  Allen Short http://washort.twistedmatrix.com has surely been
here before, a long-time E fan and Twisted developer, who was working
on an E runtime in C [named Ecru] some time ago.

They have been the primary developers of Monte.  They both have very
exacting standards.  Definitely one to watch.

If you're on freenode sometime, there's always activity in #monte !
