The site has a Janet repl (downloads pressing Esc) with autocomplete. That's enough, now I have to give the book a spin.

The fact the author points out, being able to distribute the program without requirements, is a big plus. Multiple times I have been doing some bash script that later I can't share with my non-techy friends until I translate it in some google sheets or something they can use. If Janet can let me do simple script stuff and let me share it just sending the binary as a file on some chat app, then I'm more than interested

I think I read that the image you distribute expects to use a C compiler in it's execution, and not every computer has a C compiler - or did I misunderstand? The run-in-browser blob cannot make that assumption, but perhaps that's a special case?
