  • Fennel

    Lua Lisp Language

  • > I’m positive that there is a Lispy language out there (actually in existence, or the aether) that is appropriate for embedded work, but the constraints of the target make it difficult to envision.

    Perhaps Fennel* fits the bill?

  • bu

    B)asic|But-For U)tility Code/Programs (in Nim & Often Unix/POSIX/Linux Context)

  • Nim is terse yet general and can be made even more so with effort. E.g., You can gin up a little framework that is even more terse than awk yet statically typed and trivially convertible to run much faster like https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/rp.md

    You can statically introspect code to then generate related/translated ASTs to create nearly frictionless helper facilities like https://github.com/c-blake/cligen .

    You can do all of this without any real run-time speed sacrifices, depending upon the level of effort you put in / your expertise. Since it generates C/C++ or Javascript you get all the abilities of backend compilers almost out of the box, like profile-guided-optimization or for JS JIT compilation.

  • cligen

    Nim library to infer/generate command-line-interfaces / option / argument parsing; Docs at
