Awesome! I’ve been using a similar language for the last 10 years called Lucee (Lucee.io). It’s dynamic with an ecmascript style syntax and also runs on the jvm so it scales super well. I wonder how this compares.

Looks cool! Seems to be focused on web-applications, though. Can this be used for general purpose as well?
I'm a big fan too, it's my daily go-to and a great "glue" language for all sorts of tasks webapps, APIs, batch jobs etc, all admittedly web-related as that's my job too. I recently moved over lots of Adobe CF code into Lucee and really enjoy the more modern language elements not to mention the lack of expensive licenses.
I'm a web dev so I only use it for web apps but you can certainly use it beyond web applications.
