The code seems to be on Sourceforge but the files I looked at were short and didn't seem to be able to handle 509 different things. So I think I looked in the wrong files. Or it's not in the repo?

I had a look at the repo in https://sourceforge.net/p/recoil/code/ci/master/tree/ - I think the meat of it is a giant file called 'recoil.fu' (22481 lines long)

[edit] it is written in the 'Fusion Language' https://github.com/fusionlanguage/fut (and not https://gaelduval.com/introducing-fusion-the-ultimate-progra... !) - there's a playground at http://fusion-lang.org/ . I'd never heard of it before but seems a bit like Haxe perhaps?

The language has been created by the main author of RECOIL, Piotr 'Fox' Fusik – an offshoot of Ć (Cito) perhaps? [1]

Ugh, now I'm torn between wild urges to write a Raku backend for Fusion or port my C++ libraries to Fusion, neither of which is anything like a sensible project in the short term. (Possibly any term.)
