Actually, I kind of like their implementation of "compile time 
reflection", which is sort of like C++ templates. You can pre-compile 
them, ensure they'll work at compile time, and write templates in a 
language different from the one you're using them in. Pretty funky. 
Seems pretty straightforward, as well, and I'm guessing Turing complete 
also, given you have the full power of the language available to 
generate the code, without any weirdness necessary.
