Because of the π symbol taking more space.

#5I wonder how far this is from clojure in practice? Seems to have very similar principles.

#6> EO is based on π-calculus (if you want to see its description, join this Telegram chat: @polystat_org).
Because putting this description into a doc/MATHS.md file inside the repo itself is too easy.
Also, a tip for anyone who decides to put out there a programming language with highly exotic operational semantics: please don't forget to put a quick overview of that semantics in the "Tutorial" section. I suspect most people would be puzzled why output is performed by "making a copy of the abstract object stdout with a single argument "Hello world!".

Agreed. Even a link to Wikipedia would be useful: π-calculus is not the easiest thing to search for, and I'm certainly not going to sign up for a Telegram account just to find out what this is all about.

#8In the "Things we don't tolerate" list, for "classes" they link to a short post which describes a simple use of prototypes with "types" but not "classes" and ends with "Why not?"
Building something can show that an approach is possible, but not why you think it's preferable.

#9Hmm. I'm intrigued what they come up with. The creator is something of a firebrand, who tends to 'no true scotsmen' other OOP languages. His ideas are interesting, but often seem impractical in other languages. If he comes up with something effective, I suspect it will indeed feel similar to lisp, and not in a bad way. Even what he's showing right now feels similar to Wisp-syntax with an OO twist.
