It is not intended to be Python compatible, it merely has indentation based syntax that is similar.

The cases where it differs from Python are actually for good reason: unlike Python that only has built-in control structures, here any function can look like if/for/while if it takes a lambda body.

This seems like a cool way to make an ad hoc dsl. I'm not a game programmer but I imagine it could be useful.

Smalltalker here. Being able to pass in lambdas very casually is a great way of producing an ad hoc DSL. Imagine a custom control structure which does a database transaction. Just implement a function!

Yup, this style of programming I use all the time in Lobster.

That's absolutely fantastic. I've had to do a lot more Python programming for work, and I've been thoroughly disappointed by Python's lack of support for custom blocks/structures like that (contrast with Ruby or Elixir, where any function can take a do ... end, or with Tcl where "blocks" are just strings).

So is it a bit like Rebol (or Red, or even Joy if we pretend RPL is not a significant difference), or is it a very different style of implementation?
