I too am working on a language - https://www.ek9.io/ . I’m not sure that will get any traction either! But it is technically challenging and interesting grappling with the compromises and technologies involved. My main drive has been to experiment with syntax in different forms and see how they feel and also roll in loads (probably an excessive amount) of much higher level concepts. > On 2 Jan 2023, at 20:52, Spiros Bousbouras wrote: > > On Mon, 2 Jan 2023 12:28:12 +0200 > "Tristan B.
