It is a fun "emoji-native" take, but I think "fun" almost sells it short.

It feels like there really is something special about how the combination of all the little things make it more than the sum of its parts. On a language level therews a stack + absence of operator overloading + simple array model to make it easier to reason about. On an interface level there is word-based input with autoformatting, and a zero-install web-based interface with reminder tooltips and clickable links.

The examples are a lot easier for me to read through than with other array languages I've tried. And I've seriously tried both Dyalog and BQN! I think they're brilliant, but something just refuses to click in my brain for them.
