First of all, the couple of sentences in this page don't really mean anything, as far as I can tell. "Assembly language programming in scripting languages"? What is that supposed to mean? Anyway, I had never heard of this, which led me to do a quick Google search, and there doesn't seem to be anything on Google about this either. At least under this name.

- Caution advised: The first page listed in the "Implementations" sources has been reported as a malware attack page by at least one anti-viral service. I know of an editor who uses Sandbox VM's to investigate this sort of stuff safely - I will approach him about opening the page and pasting it's text into subpage here for us to assess.

- Alright, so thanks to the quick and generous assistance of the afore-mentioned editor, I have this to report:
- "The 15th of this month Google found some malware on corepy.org. Here is a piece of HTML that was archived with the wayback machine. I think its clean now, it seems like they simply restored a backup that was made before the attack happened, but the website contains at least 7500 links (it is a mediawiki installation) so we are going to have to wait until Google checks it again to see if they cleaned it all up. The website looks like this in Chrome."
- So it seems the page is likely clean, but with the image available for evaluative purposes, users should still apply caution and use their own discretion if navigating that site, as neither I nor the editor I consulted with are experts capable of determining that it has been completely cleaned.
