Would you care to elaborate? Is there something specific you see in this project that caught your eye? One thing I noticed is the use of ligatures, which is becoming increasingly common as editors embrace Unicode more fully, but that's an editor/presentation feature, not something specific to the language. For example:
-> →
=> ⇒
>= ≥
I've seen an increasing number of people trying out Fira Code, which includes a nice set of such ligatures:

- gnl 8y agoThe font in the screenshots with the ligatures is in fact Fira Code and the font in the REPL screenshots without ligatures is Ubuntu Mono. I guess those could be considered additional syntax, but they're also completely optional and interchangeable with the corresponding, more Clojure-like keywords.
- grzm 8y agoYeah, I wouldn't consider them syntax, either. There's a lot we can do to make our coding environments easier to work in, and that's independent of the source code itself. I'm glad to see more exploration in this space.
