  Hehe, so it was good.

  I finally got the magazine sent form publisher and browse it.  It
turned out it is a spin-off/inspired/... by the Lightweight Language
Workshop  http://ll2.ai.mit.edu.

  It sounds like one of the committee said "the definition of the
lightweight language is explicitly undefined" (or something like
that).  Nice definition.
