Thank you! Imagine everything we like about Python, remove some warts, make it functional. It should feel familiar and appealing to a Python programmer.
I've got a working interpreter and compiler for the initial language. I've had a few people take it for a spin and they were able to rapidly learn it and start contributing, despite having expressed frustration in trying FP languages in the past. All anecdotes for now!
Is there anything ~technical you can share beyond desires and disappointments that leads you to believe this is a reasonable hypothesis?
