It has some of the same abstraction level, only handling the types of  
control-flow constructs in Slate which map relatively directly to C  
syntax, but unlike Slang, doesn't require a lot of inline strings and  
awkward message-sends which make Slang a little clunky to deal with.  
Also, Slate's type declarations are useful in the Pidgin dialect.

There are some notes in the Mobius manual here: http:// 
slate.tunes.org/doc/mobius/#SECTION00060000000000000000

Pidgin sources for the VM are stored in src/mobius/vm/ and sub- 
directories, although bootstrap.slate and build.slate and so forth  
are the engine (src/mobius/c/ is the translator itself) for  
bootstrapping and so are in full Slate.
