Magpie designer (Bob Nystrom) is a quite smart person :-) Here he 
explains two main kinds of iterations:

I think Magpie is not meant to become a widespread language, but 
it contains interesting ideas.

I think the core of Magpie is interpreted, but you can run the 
type system statically, if you want.
