The Janet Language

line noise much? man, that example is not pretty

This is really cool, surprised it has so few stars and I've never seen it talked about here. I like the LISPs but I've always thought not having a CPython type thing was a bit of a deal breaker for making it a go-to "primary" language that I would use everyday.

I'm definitely going to try with Janet though.

Dammit Janet.

Normal people prefer syntax-less, unambiguous lisp-languages over the mess we have now. Just look at Javascript, rust or C++ and tell me normal people prefer that.

Only worse languages win, because people are masochochists, but throwing away this possible user base is always a win.
