Why Fennel?
I'm a big fan of moonscript, but occasionally wish it was still be improved and worked on. Yuescript¹ looks like it fixes most of my bugbears with moonscript, and it is largely a faster² drop-in replacement.
There was s little discussion here ~18 months ago³, but it will largely circular if you look as people are suggesting fennel there ;)

² This probably only matters if you have tonnes of moonscript, not just a little neovim/mpv/awesomewm config or something.

Using other languages
There's also some languages made to compile straight to Lua: - MoonScript is the most popular Lua wrapper - it's built to be more Python-like, featuring indentation-based scopes, function calls without parentheses, lambda syntax, list comprehension, and much more. - Yuescript is a modern update to MoonScript that adds more features (I haven't used it myself, so I'm not entirely sure exactly how it differs from MS). - Teal is a version of Lua that adds static typing for better code standards.

Lua, a Misunderstood Language
Yes, this is unfortunately true.

I've designed a re-imagined version of the Lua logo and some other Lua flavors just for fun, what do you guys think?

100 Languages Speedrun: Episode 90: YueScript
What I didn't know about is that its fork YueScript is actively maintained, and with some extra features.

Trying to move to Emacs again
I've put together a Lua config with Neovim, but it was still kind of obnoxious to put together. Lua isn't that great of a language, because people seem to forget it's an embed-able language for a reason (it's not supposed to give you tons of features). Using something that makes some of your more complex problems easier like Moonscript or Yuescript can make things more complex in regards to your configuration.

Is orgmode really that much better than an equivalent workflow using vim + other tools?
For certain concepts that I don't understand fully, I'm using chatgpt-shell. It is beyond fantastic and almost impossible to describe in a single post. This is, for example, just one of my use cases: When I'm writing a comment or a message to my colleague (and of course, yes, I edit just about any text in Emacs), I can select a paragraph and ask chatgpt-shell to improve it. It does, but it also shows me the diff of the changes, that is how I set it up.

Show HN: AutoHotkey for Linux
I’ve been using hammerspoon for several years and it has really become integral to my workflow.
You may want to check out the extension package spacehammer[0]. It includes a bunch of workflows and shortcuts that I’ve found extremely useful.
Interestingly (for me at least), it’s authored in Fennel [1], a lisp that compiles to lua. I actually found spacehammer originally when I was working on converting my personal hammerspoon config to Fennel.

Alternative to notational velocity/nvALT but with image support
Throw in Spacehammer, and you can add a note from anywhere in the operating system.

Hammerspoon – Lua-based powerful tool automation of macOS
I'm a big fan of hammerspoon, but not so much Lua. I also use emacs with Doom, where a lot of bindings are behind a 'leader key'. I found an awesome framework called 'spacehammer'[1] that fits very well into the way I like to work. It similarly hides binding behind a leader, and it's written in Fennel, a lisp that compiles to Lua. I feel like I get to expand the customizability of Emacs out to my whole system and I love it. Hammerspoon is pretty bare on its own so I suggest you check out spacehammer even if it's just a show case of the potential of hammerspoon.
