Qi vs. SPAD/Aldor?



I've seen a few posts over time about the new Qi language being
implemented in Lisp, and I'm curious because some of the discussions
pop up with keywords similar to what I've seen in the past with
Axiom. "Strongly typed" certainly is one, and the discussion of Unit
types last month also caught my interest. I'm curious if anybody who
knows could compare the Aldor.org language to Qi? What are their
differences? (SPAD if you prefer to do an apples-to-apples "language
implemented in Lisp" comparison.) Would Qi be as suitable for
advanced mathematical programming as Aldor (given some library
support, presumably...)
