I saw ethereum mentioned on Twitter yesterday so I took a quick look. I read every word on the site and watched the video. I still have no idea exactly what ethereum is.

I also downloaded the C++ source code, which includes a file called CodingStandards.txt. It's a laugh riot. Check out these excerpts:

c. Don't use braces for condition-body one-liners.

goto fail;
