omg I’m reading about the Janet language and loving what I’m seeing so far. this feels like exactly what I would want a Lisp to be - maybe even moreso than Fennel, just because Fennel is dependent on Lua

also, so far it even seems like it’s documented in a similar way to how my ideal language would be documented: starting from the most basic building blocks and expanding from there in carefully-chosen layers

in this case they even went a step further than what I had considered, by starting with just an explanation of what the parser does, and what data structures it can create

Janet lets you write number literals in an arbitrary base lol I love that. that’s so extra and yet I bet it wasn’t that much extra work to implement

me, finally done with the Ugly Disgusting language for today, now turning my attention to the Precious Beautiful language
