Ah, the issue is that I don't like that syntax: Salt is macro free, and doesn't need assert statements, etc... These are stylistic but I am assuming that under the hood things look quite similar.

I put an effort in to de-slop the project wherever I can. If you've noticed anything specific, I'd kindly request that you open an issue on Github or respond here with your findings so that I might correct them in the future.

Thanks for taking an in-depth look at Salt.
