I can't say much; it's not my project.  You'd have to ask Vesa to get a 
better answer.  I believe that it is functional, but I'm fairly certain 
that it is not under any active development.  I think that Vesa is pretty 
much tired of working with the C/C++ preprocessor (and C++ in general) as 
opposed to languages that have "real" macro mechanisms such as Scheme.  
He's a functional-language type of guy.

Basically, Order is an interpreter that is implemented on top of a 
continuation machine.
