I think he was more elaborate in an earlier version of the 
website. IIRC he was  a D user, but gave up on the language due 
to the design/development process that he felt was going nowhere.

I think the main feature in Loci compared to C++ is that you can 
dynamically add interfaces to existing libraries from other 
languages using structural typing. So you can add polymorphism 
layers to existing C frameworks just by having pointers.
