Cell-Lang is interesting, but they are not the first one to address ORM code generation or even signal-slot code generation. How do they compare to the popular large popular libraries? The comparison is only given to handwritten native (Java/C++) code, but it is a bit unfair to compare code generation to human code writers.
Cell is not an object-relational mapper. It is a programming language that uses relations to encode data, instead of records and pointers. There's a world of difference between the two. ORM helps you load/store your data from/to an SQL database, but once your data is in memory, all computation is done using objects. In Cell, on the other hand, computation is done with relations.
In that example, ORM is never mentioned: it's just a comparison between two different programming paradigms, functional/relational programming and OOP. It's not unlike comparing, for example, ML-style functional programming and OOP.
A comparison of the reactive part of the language with a framework like, say, ReactiveX would be interesting, and will be added at some point, once that part of the language has matured.
The Clojure language is a better and simpler Cell language.
Clojure is a functional programming language based on relational database theory.
```
Clojure -> DBMS, Super Foxpro
STM -> Transaction，MVCC
Persistent Collections -> db, table, col
hash-map -> indexed data
Watch -> trigger, log
Spec -> constraint
Core API -> SQL, Built-in function
function -> Stored Procedure
Meta Data -> System Table
```
It officially supports jvm, js, .net platform, and third-party implementations such as go, py, erlang and other language platforms.
You can use graalvm for native compilation, and mixing with R, python, ruby, js, Java is very simple.

1) Who's behind the project and what's their motivation?
2) Where's the source code? (OK I get this is not an open source project. Why?).
