While I don't begrudge anyone from creating a new language, I'm trying to figure out what this brings to the table that languages like Nim, Zig, Ecl, Crystal, V, Forth, Gambit, etc... lack. The only thing I can really find is "syntax". Lua isn't really my cup of tea, but to each their own. Regardless, looks like a fun project.
