Correct. They are actually working internally (we use them to write
some of the procedures such as Write, etc), but we're still adjusting
a few things before releasing them for general use (since Flaming
Thunder
runs on FreeBSD, Linux, Macs and Windows, and can cross-compile for
all
of them, testing all the combinations can be a little time-consuming).

... encoding the logic of your program in a bunch of imaginatively

In Flaming Thunder, like English, that would be "go to". "Goto" was
used
by early language designers because it made life easier for the
compiler
writer, instead of making life easier for the users, who then had to
learn
a new word. Kind of like how C's case-sensitivity makes life easier
for
the compiler writer, but harder for the users.
