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.
