Hello Jonathan!
/*"For the time being*/" nothing in particular!
I would like just to learn a little more about this language
which I came across when I searched for (newer) languages
in the Lisp family. Unfortunately the online information sources are
very rare!
Best regards
Nik
*PS:* Just for your info:
I'm playing around with the latest version of GOO in Emacs on my
Nokia n900!

It's too bad. Goo was a really great effort and with a little more work it might have been able to pick up some momentum.
I still use it from time to time for simple personal projects.
One reason the license is messed up is because the your final code contains parts of the Goo runtime that are GPL'd. So you don't own a clear copyright on your own code. I requested that he re-release the code under the MIT license.
