I don't think Janet and Scheme have very much in common. If you're looking for a huge, batteries-included language, you will not have a good time with Janet :)

Janet is much closer to Lua, in scope and applications, than it is to any Scheme or Common Lisp or Clojure implementations.
- headhasthoughts 4y agor5rs is significantly smaller than Janet.

- medo-bear 4y agoit seems to me that gebril scheme fits janet's use cases https://cons.io/ https://cons.io/
- pull_my_finger 4y agoJanet has a lot in common with Lua: tables, coroutines, easy embedding, lots of API similarities. Compared to a language like Lua, Janet is bursting with "batteries". Almost to a Ruby level where whenever you think to do something, you check the docs and find yourself saying "of course there's a function for that". I have to disagree completely with your assessment.
