What are your thoughts on something like arturo which I know is quite recent but it has a lot of features for scripting and an argument might in fact be made that it is in fact it might have too many batteries but it was an absolute pleasure to learn and I had a lot of aha moments in their discord server and the community was really pleasant to follow through actually.

I know its definitely smaller but I just want your opinions on it and what you might think of the language and I may be a bit sorry if this comes across as a little off topic but your blog really reminded me of arturo and my attempts on creating something like hugo in arturo but the project was abandoned mid way but if I remember correctly it was just some 50 lines of code to convert from markdown to complete website or even less since arturo's battery include markdown syntax as well as well as a web server and its written in nim which I cherish too.

I am genuinely interested in your opinions about it!

Never heard of Arturo before. Went to their page after reading your comments. Omg, it looks so cute and good. Defo up my alley. I love functional and minimalist languages. Thanks for sharing that.

I might play with it for some project in the future.

Glad I could help ya! I love arturo as well :)

The creator is an extremely nice person and I am proud that he follows me on github. This might be the highlight of my github right now lol.

Came to learn from awesome-nim about the language and loved it from day one. There are a lot of ways of doing the same thing but maybe that's the point since its rebol inspired.

Took a while to find examples:

It looks interesting.
