    Aha, thanks for the info. Then I believe Janet could fill a similar role. What little profiling I've seen puts them in a similar category: https://github.com/MikeBeller/janet-bench…

    Last time I checked, Carp doesn't have a REPL that can interact with a running process. In Janet you can do things like change functions during runtime.

    You can access any element in your array in O(1). I think it is faster to loop through as well, but I'm not so sure about that. The drawback is that appending / removing elements a…

    Thank you! That is exactly what I'm going for. :) My friend said "so you're just making basic?", haha. I didn't get to experience C64 / Amiga era, but after having listened to 100s…

    It's easy to treat any C struct as an abstract object in Janet, then have functions that do specific things (e.g. write to the file, read from it, etc). You have to write some manu…

    I know I had some trouble with raylib's dependencies on Linux. If you get stuck, feel free to at me at the janet gitter.

    Thank you. :) If you do try it out, I'd be happy for any feedback on Freja! :) I should mention that Windows support is currently a bit behind, so if you're on Windows I could fix …

    I'm making an editor, Freja, which is like a tiny Emacs with graphical support. Makes it fun to create gui apps and games. :) Ultima Underworld inspired game I'm making for a game …

    Ah, that's cool. I haven't heard of similar integrations with python, but I imagine it's possible to set up. :) Hope you're having fun with it! If you get a chance to watch the vid…

    I'm happy you asked! :) I think these terms are very vague, and I haven't found a good way to be more clear. For me a "real repl" includes: 1. Decent support from the language to d…
