I've enjoyed using the C3 language to make some simple games [0] and found it really easy to pick up. The only thing that I got hung up on at first was the temporary memory arenas which I didn't know existed and ultimately really liked.

I took a look at your github and saw you implemented the same games in multiple languages, which one did you like the most and why?

To be honest, my favorite language is my own language Tentacode [0], closely followed by my recent experimental language Gar [1]. Tenta is not publicly released yet, but the source can be downloaded on github [2]. I've been experimenting with making games in a bunch of languages to inform the design of Tenta by seeing how much I can strip away and still successfully, efficiently make a meaningful game.
