The FFI builder that Fun'O use is a bit of a kludge. It is a glorified
pattern matcher (written by David Gray) which is cajoled by impenetrable
runes to perform its tasks. Rather than release, and support this kludge I
think the plan is to develop or encourage the development of a proper
parsing tool.

Many of the libraries are open source (even the editor), but key components
like the compiler and IDE are currently close source.
