I'm one of the maintainers of the Sample Programs, and I've been trying to find or create docker images for the different languages that are currently untested. I stumbled upon this repo and went to the trouble of creating a docker image. Here is the Dockerfile if you're curious.

While looking for information on this language, I saw this Wikipedia Article and found this User Guide from the now defunct company Thinking Machines. I'm just curious if this is in any way based on that version of C* or if it is a completely new language that just happens to have the same name. The reason why I'm asking is that I'd like to update these articles on the Sample Programs companion website as a result of this PR:

Hello @rzuckerm! Yes, this is a new language, and completely unrelated to the old C* that's on Wikipedia.

And thanks for the Docker image! It might come in handy, though I'm not working on this project for the foreseeable future.
