I think Janet is quite...liberal? It's a practical language, but doesn't force a specific paradigm on you. There're "escape hatches" in different levels of the language, and I like that.
Maybe the most "opinionated" things in Janet are the ev stuff and fibers. I think they're done right though, you just need to be careful with the event loop when embedding Janet.
- nicce 1y agoHow it compares with Lua?
- 77pt77 1y agoThis one actually has real arrays (mutable and immutable)
- giraffe_lady 1y agoStrictly better unless you need an extremely small runtime rather than a very small one, or are exposing a scripting API to users who will recoil from prefix notation.
- behnamoh 1y agoIf you like Janet and Lua, might as well try Fennel, which was made by the creator of Janet.
- nicce 1y agoI have read about Fennel many times and considered on trying it - I didn’t know that they have the same author!
