The author is super helpful in the Janet community, I'm sure this is absolute gold. I encourage Ian to put a donate button on the website.
What I like about Janet is that anything seems possible with it, and that code from others is very approachable and understandable to me. In no other language do I ever find myself hacking on someone else's library to add a feature that I need. In Janet, it always seems easy.
Some stuff I created that I wouldn't quickly find myself doing in other languages:
- a wrapper around my web app that runs it like a CGI script (for ultra-cheap deploying on shared web hosts)
- a logging function (macro) that logs the input (both the unevaluated way it was called and what it evaluated to) + line number of the code that called it
- a framework for creating web apps (not public yet, but used in production on my website)
- (with Ian's help) a macro that I can use to create functions that require explicitly specified parameters
