I fucking love when a programming language explains why it’s designed the way that it is and what its guiding philosophy is. I’ve been reading about Fennel (a Lisp-like language that transpiles to Lua) and I don’t think I would have given it a second glance if it didn’t have a philosophy that I almost entirely agree with. I would have just seen something that looked “ugly” or “kludgy” to me (without the context for why it is that way) and moved on to something else
