A good reason to regard this as "Python with parentheses" is because not only does it use arrays instead of cons cells, but there's no non-mutating `append` fun

A good reason to regard this as "Python with parentheses" is because not only does it use arrays instead of cons cells, but there's no non-mutating `append` function. Instead, Janet has an `array/concat` function that behaves like a Python array's `.append` method, and that's it. And no, Clojure isn't a Lisp. Perhaps it would be appropriate to say that Janet is "a Clojure".
