Beautifully done, but ergonomically "no way to code" for me. Could be pretty neat if you focus on learners. Once mildly proficient, one'll want the speed and flow of typing and freely operating on lines/blocks/sel

Well, ouch, a transpiler writer has to code up a bit of boilerplate, most of it just once early on in the project's life-time.. "too bad"! IMHO reconstructing stuff may be a somewhat tricky challenge, but there's no in

How so? Interested in your elaboration. I would have surmised it'd be very smooth and fun to target, given all the freedoms it gives you (free-form records, dynamically-sized arrays, no types). All the things that are "foot guns&q

In Go, sure. In Haskell, for some app use-cases (and I believe static-site-gen is one such) it takes endless patience and tweaking to reach on-par performance with let's say "systems languages". There's scenarios where H

Good starter project for learning a new language. You get to touch various interesting areas from IO to templating to a simple modicum of "dependency tracking" (for incremental rebuilds), many neat areas to learn/try optimiza
