Is it used anywhere? Github seams dead and the main contributor have left Facebook to start SkipLabs with DB related product SQLive.

Looks very interesting, but the last blog entry was over three years ago, and there are no mailing lists/IRC/Slack/any community forums to indicate signs of life. A shame.

Site doesn't load for me right now but looks like it: https://hub.packtpub.com/facebook-releases-skiplang-a-genera... I remember a colleague seeing this presented at a conference a few years ago but that was the last I'd heard of it.

It used to be a FB project, but no longer.

Looks interesting but here's what I don't understand. So many programming languages do not show example code on the homepage. That's like if Mazda didn't show cars on their homepage. Sure, you won't really know what it's like to drive it without getting your hands dirty but at least let me see the trim.
