IMO it looks possibly interesting but rather early days.  A version  
number like 0.12 rather gives that away.  The examples are only  
described on Windows and although I could download the parser for the  
model XMML files, there were no instructions about how to build it.

Swarm is mature code with extensive documentation including whole  
books on writing simulations, and binaries available for a number of  
platforms.
