Just saw the Lemonodor entry about the kid in Ireland who won some
prize or another for his science project titled: CROMA: A New Dialect
of LISP. But I can't find any information on CROMA itself. I'm really
curious to see what he came up with. Doesn't this kid have a web site
somewhere? (All I've been able to find via Google is various web sites
with the same news squib about the prize.)

CROMA spelled backwards (if you squint) is ARC...

If you squint a little harder, it's MACRO.

Oh, shouldn't that be ACROMAY? :)

Congratulations on your win.

This kid does have a web-site (collison.ie), but it's in a hosting
quagmire at the moment, with nothing useful present. I e-mailed more
details to John Wiseman (see the post at lemonodor.com) before seeing
the post here, but I'll upload a more formal description soon. It's a
mish-mash of various ideas that seemed to make sense at the time, with
a focus on making web-development less complex.

Unfortunately, the European Young Scientist contest is on in Moscow in
September, and I've been cautioned by the organisers against saying too
much 'till then. I need to clarify rules, but Croma will be GPL'd
whenever possible (sooner rather than later).
I'll try to answer any questions here, though.
