@shadowfirebird@a.weirder.earth it has some extremely cool bits to it that aren't well-replicated in other languages yet
like for example, sure languages have repls now--but not many languages encourage you to start with a loop, and hot-swap in code until you have your desired program
a feedback loop like that is Massively Cool because you can start by running a buggy and incomplete program, and by the time it exits, it can be basically done
