> Why does Fe exist.

Reply to one of the GitHub issues discusses it some[1].

>> What was the motivation to create fe if you already made aria?

> The same motivations I had writing aria: for the fun of programming it; trying to make something terse but still practical. Every line of code has a weight to it with consideration that would be unreasonable outside this kind of project: a project that exists just to exist. Each time you write something it becomes — or at least should become — more clear and more concise than the previous time, and if you repeat this, the original version is by comparison an over-engineered bloated mess. fe is a sequel to aria, and as such ended up smaller, simpler and faster
