"Green Computing: mutating lesser bits generates lesser heat."

I call BS. Can someone actually prove to me that using this language would actually non-trivially reduce power consumption?

The storage service described in the Rationale section looks like it's using something like what Git does: stores a part of a file only once, and uses references to it thereafter if another file uses the same segment.

I don't see why you would need Enchilada if you could just use a Git's libraries from another programming language though. That's what Bup does: https://github.com/apenwarr/bup

Clojure's persistent data structures use the same technique as Enchilada.

Somehow, I don't think this name will help the language's popularity...

boss: "What language are you going to do this in?"

me: "enchilada"

Something about that just isn't right.

It's long, but how is it any worse than PHP, C, D, Fortran, Cobol, ... ?

I actually loved the name, didn't care much about the language itself.

Reading this I see the corn tortilla rolled around a filling, but where is the chili pepper sauce? What makes this language live up to it's spicy namesake.
