Announcement: the Diatom programming language v0.6.0.alpha
Nice work! Iām always on the lookout for new Lua-likes as a prospective gamedev scripting language. Recently I came by one quite similar to Diatom called Cyber; well worth a look.
- Cyber 0.2 - Modules, gamedev, fast strings.

Cyber 0.2 - A scripting language written in Zig.
Yeah that's weird. Definitely better than as though.

Bog ā small, strongly typed, embeddable language
> more strongly typed alternatives
See also this list for comparison https://github.com/fubark/cyber/issues/6, if you dont want lua by a meta-compiler.
If you want non-allocating scripting for optimal performance (and io limited to what you provide as buffer), go for https://dascript.org/. I dont think there are currently other projects with that performance (+ also inspired by Zig).

Why don't more languages implement LISP-style interactive REPLs?
I've use a few "live coding" programming environments focused around audio programming where this is also the norm. Extempore ( https://github.com/digego/extempore, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY1FSsUV-8c ) is a great example of this.

Cyber is a new language for fast, efficient, and concurrent scripting
I grew up in the 70s with the term cybernetics from Norber Wiener, and I liked it before Gibson's Neuromancer in the 80s, so I guess I was inoculated before the pandemic use of the word. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a term being bandied about a bit now (reading Logical Foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems, and it is pretty cool [1]; Andrew Sorensen's Extempore as a CPS environment [2]). I also attended the first HOPE in 1994 in NYC and although the press abused the term cyber, it's still cool to me! But the Papa John's stuff was funny.

Starting Your Computer Music Journey with Clojure and Overtone in Emacs
I'm really fond of the idea of writing music like this.
From all available implementations of the idea, I probably like Extempore (https://github.com/digego/extempore) the most. Extempore provides a low-level C-like language (xtlang) which compiles into LLVM and can be meta-programmed from a variant of Scheme (TinyScheme I believe). This arrangement makes it possible to generate the code for the audio graph from Scheme, compile/optimize it via LLVM, then drive it in a live-coding fashion from Emacs. Best of both worlds (high and low).
My personal, much simpler attempt in this space is Cowbells (https://github.com/omkamra/cowbells) - with this one you can live-code FluidSynth (MIDI soundfonts) from Clojure + CIDER + Emacs, representing musical phrases either via Clojure data structures or an alternative text-based syntax (which is translated into the former by a compiler).
