How did you choose the name for your programming language?
It happens I used the name before the Wren you're talking about. I don't really have a conclusion here, but it's kind of amusing.

How did you choose the name for your programming language?
A friend made a snarky comment that I was reinventing the wheel; hence, wheel-lang.

Practical introduction to algebraic datatypes (ADTs) in TypeScript
Yeah, when building my language, manually constructing the sum types was definitely annoyingly verbose. I found that you can mostly get a good experience for pattern matching with switch statements, but it definitely could be better.

I built a toy programming language using Typescript
Hah, yeah, that's certainly true. If I get around to building a backend that compiles to ARM (see this GitHub issue), that'll be a few less layers...I'm curious how much better performance will get, too.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing wren and wheel-lang you can also consider the following projects:
peridot - A fast functional language based on two level type theory
bhai-lang - A toy programming language written in Typescript
ramen - A stream processing language and compiler for small-scale monitoring
jspython - JSPython is a python-like syntax interpreter implemented with javascript that runs entirely in the web browser and/or in the NodeJS environment.
inet-js - This is an implementation of interaction nets. It introduces you to the bizarre world of graph-based computation and linear logic, using a familiar JavaScript-like syntax :)
fanuc-macro-b - A Lexer, Parser, and Interpreter for Fanuc Macro B gcode files
psi - WIP ISO 7185 Pascal interpreter
konna - A fast functional language based on two level type theory
