I thought this was going to be about C++

However, this little language looks a lot like Joy (which I suspect was named ironically).

On a serious note, I'd be more curious to see alternative syntax for Lisp (please, I know about code as data etc). McCarty envisioned M-expressions [1], but I have never seen anyone implement them or even nicer ones.

...joke or not, that name is pretty bad. C'mon.

I don't know....the name could be wurst

Like sausage you don't want to see how programming languages are made.

I think better name might be "vor", from the russian ВОР - https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%BE%D1%80 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thief_in_law

   ; Define 'hello' as a function that shows you The Message.
   define hello [ "Hello, " swap string-append "!\n" string-append prints ]
   ; All hail The Message.
   "World" hello

Could this just be written as?:

   "Hello, World!\n" prints

The example seemed a little convoluted to me.

I just asked a macOS programmer why he’s tweeting about back and forth code conversion between Swift and Objective C. His response was “Swift is dog slow.”
