Mochi Sprint at EuroPython 2015

Mochi is a new functional language that is written in Python 3 and compiles down to Python 3. It provides interesting functional feature while keeping two-way compatability with Python 3 (CPython and PyPy). There was a talk about Mochi at EuroPython 2015. The talk slides and the video (start at 2:20:30) give more details.

Potential Sprint Topics

Documentation

Start documentation for syntax
Start documentation for builtin functions
Create a tutorial
Create a simple sample application written in Mochi

Language Features

Support for Python 3.5
Replace a part of the builtin functions with toolz/cytoolz or a similar module (This may reduce documentation cost for builtin functions.)

Testing

More tests (testing guide)

IPython Notebook Kernel

Fix stderr (should go to notebook to not only to console)
Include kernel source into Mochi source
Add support for magic functions
Add call tips and help with "?"
