wow, lots of negativity and criticism in this thread for what is explicitly called out as a fun project (that’s what hobby means, linked in the language description on the front page): https://slope.colorfield.space/hobby.html https://slope.colorfield.space/hobby.html
Creating a programming language, no matter how robust, is not a trivial endeavor—I’d rather celebrate the existence of this language and its pretty explicit posturing that it’s just for fun rather than criticize it immediately for its lack of utility.
- heywoodlh 4y ago> Creating a programming language, no matter how robust, is not a trivial endeavor Completely agreed. Not sure why there is so much negativity when I imagine most of the critics have not created their own programming language.

- pvg 4y agoJust flag the lame comments and write a comment about the thing rather than the comments about the thing. The thread will fix itself especially with better comments around.
- mark_l_watson 4y ago+1 right on Coding for fun is enough, it is not necessary to create another Common Lisp implementation or a new ecosystem like Clojure. Nice project!
