It looks interesting, but I don't understand the syntax. The only documentation is a doctoral thesis, which contains the usual padding:

but it jumps from what looks like standard Haskell, to the new syntax, without explanation.



“Egison makes programming dramatically simple!”



This comment originally said that the link was useless. Actually, this is a nearly-complete explanation of Egison's syntax. The only difference I've noticed so far is : for Egison's ::.


Edit: glad it helped!

(This comment originally suggested attempting to reverse-engineer the syntax after learning the semantics)
