It's still very much used at SkipLabs. In fact, it's the language that SQLive is written in: http://sqlive.io

Unfortunately, we use a proprietary fork of SKIP, so that's why the OSS project looks dead.

We might open-source our version some day, but no plans for now.

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.

Great feedback! This is a big oversight.

Even worse, the "tutorial" is a challenge of sorts, where you have to guess at the right answer given hints.

This sounds interesting... Though it doesn't seem like that domain is working.
