Always nice to see janet getting some attention.

shout out to one modern feature: sandbox

"Disable feature sets to prevent the interpreter from using certain system resources. Once a feature is disabled, there is no way to re-enable it."

It's a really cool feature but what is a scenario when your average programmer needs such sandboxing?

[myaccountonhn]

I sandbox all my utilities and programs in case some compromised third-party dependency decides to run lose. It's a way to limit the blast radius.

[briaoeuidhtns]

you're embedding it as a scripting api and want to limit permissions to just what's needed

The TIC-80 game engine embeds Janet, and if i recall sandboxes the games created
