> Wow, I didn't know this. I thought it's another "compiler frontend" for Racket - essentially just a parens-free syntax for people allergic to Lisps. Instead it's a standalone language with self-hosted compiler and JS based runtime, which is even more impressive.
You know, I was really surprised too. I had just assumed it was another language compiled out with a Racket compiler like Arc or a specialized subset learning languages built into Racket, like one of the Schemes (I mean like the lang/rsr6 or lang/plai) that are a subset for study.
Keep in mind though, after reading this article, I read the mailing list and it appears they just finishing up a functional CLI REPL. It could be fun, but they are still working on the basics of making it fun for neckbeards, who would prefer, by way of stereotype, their terminals and REPLs. At least that is what I am waiting for.
