Fennel has actually convinced me that Lua and lisp have more in common than one might think. I don't know what the above comment was referencing, but I've always found beauty in lisp languages for having a primary datastructure that all others can be abstracted to. Lisp, classically, has list, clojure has sequences, and Lua/fennel has tables.

Neovim config, Wezterm Config, and various scripts to do things are all now written in fennel. I've also used it for game dev using Love2D. It's a great great language, and fixes a LOT of the issues I have with Lua.
