Ran across this new language (new to me, anyway) while following random links. (Not much to do today). I think it has a really good chance for important uses in the programming world.....  
Enterprise
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long

I always wondered about Starfleet - not only do they fill their computer consoles with high explosive so it just takes the slightest knock and the helmsman is thrown across the room, but they also put all the C&C staff on the Bridge, which they then stick up on top where it can be easily shot at ...

I'd not heard of it before, but it doesn't seem bad - I'm up to Chapter 11 and it's shaping up nicely. Thanks for that!

UN = French for 'a', male version (une for female)
DRUM = Think military tattoo - Wikipedia gives the derivation.
