I do wish there was an http client/server component in the stdlib. That's probably my biggest gripe at the moment. I think things are evolving in the right direction though. Recent updates have added an event loop module and have improved the net module. I can see a future where Janet becomes very useful for network programming. I think http in stdlib plus some growth in the third party package ecosystem will make Janet more viable. I mostly stick to using it as a gluing tool for shell scripts for now. So for my purposes it was fine for CLI apps assuming you are gluing together other cli apps. I could have avoided some gluing if Janet had it's own http client. I spent a while trying to dig into some of the packages and to be honest they just aren't there yet. I really wanted to experiment with building a desktop GUI in Janet but I found that it was too much effort to get started. Cljfx (clojure) and racket/gui both work out of the box with minimal effort.
