What about APL? Sigh, why not just use named functions? I also doubt array comprehensions are a win, it feels like niche syntax.

I meant that most Lisps are named functions/macros only (with some named special forms), and you are calling for that kind of syntax?

It's so exhausting seeing so many unoriginal vibe coded programming languages pop up nowadays.

I would appreciate if project noted down if its vibe coded, was llm assisted or was purely human made. This way, I know how serious I should take it.

They can't, of course ... especially when they clearly never looked at it.

Very nice work!

Look at the author's repositories. He writes mostly in Zig, which has a very anti-AI culture. There's no evidence of AI in rip-lang, just lots of hard work.

It's exhausting to see such unoriginal comments. This language has original features and clearly was not vibe coded ... the author is primarily a Zig programmer, and Zig has a very anti-AI culture.
