I hadn't heard of Elephant. That is interesting. It would take a bit to convince me it has advantage over traditional formal grammars, or declarative languages. Algol derivatives and, you know, every other structured programming language. "Refer to the past directly" sound suspiciously like versioning. In fact, most of the language sounds like a bunch of high-level concepts and abstractions smooshed together. The last time someone tried that, we got C++.Algolic programs refer to the past via variables, arrays and other data structures.
