Aside from the explicit annotations, I don't see how their

Never mind. Just saw their language embedding example. Neat!
Compared to CTFE, in Sparrow you can run at compile-time *any*
algorithm you like. No restrictions apply. Not only you can do
whatever your run-time code can do, but can also call external
programs at compile-time.
Imagine that you are calling the D compiler from inside the
Sparrow compiler to compile some D code that you encounter.
