This looks really interesting, going to check this out later today. Anyone using Janet for anything that would care to comment on their experience?

I also scraped together a large web framework and a small one:

Anything new happen with Janet? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28255116 (August 2021) [114 Comments] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23164614 (May 2020) [269 Comments]
Some interesting changes since August this year: - Threaded channels `ev/thread-chan` (`thread` has been deprecated [and removed in latest version [[1.18]]]) - JPM (Janet Package Manager) is now separate, not distributed together with Janet anymore - Janet binary can directly run image files with `-i`
What is an image and why would I want to run one? My best guess is that an image would be platform independent bytecode vs compiled executable?

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 jam: https://youtu.be/1fWsV83P-S8 Demo of pixel editor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOBi805nxNc Freja: https://github.com/Saikyun/freja --- My experience has overall been very nice. I come from Clojure, and comparing to that: - so nice…
Thanks so much for the info and commentary!

I wrote a few websites with it, notably: https://github.com/swlkr/janetdocs I also scraped together a large web framework and a small one: https://github.com/joy-framework/joy https://github.com/swlkr/osprey

I've been writing about my first impressions of the language here: https://ianthehenry.com/posts/janet-game/ Not a whole lot of content yet, but I plan to keep going with it. I am pretty firmly in the Haskell/OCaml "let me program with types" camp for most development, but it's a great to have a little scripting language to reach for instead of bash or Python or Perl. Using Janet (coming from Python) reminds me a bit…

Wow! Some really cool projects, thanks for sharing, I'll definitely check out Freja later this evening! Thanks so much for the info and commentary!
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 that then comment here again when it's done. :)

It's not necessarily portable. Some lisps will use machine-independent bytecode, others use native code. I'm not sure which one Janet does.

Why use this over Chicken Scheme?
A copy-paste from "Use Cases" in Janet's README.md: Janet makes a good system scripting language, or a language to embed in other programs. It's like Lua and Guile in that regard. It has more built-in functionality and a richer core language than Lua, but smaller than GNU Guile or Python.
Julia, Janet, Eve...
I understand the guy referring to his car as his "girlfriend" and give it a women's name. I just can't feel the same about tech.
I guess this may be the nerd's way of immortalizing their sweetheart, but if I was a woman I'd rather prefer to be a car and not a programming language.
A programming language doesn't feel much anthropomorphizable to me, let alone lady-like.
Women, what do you think?
