   AFAIK, no one uses Scheme for game scripting. They use Lua and langs which poach Lua syntax & ideas, like Squirrel and Wren.
   
   I think I'd like to see Guile Scheme and Racket start replacing JavaScript in non-web applications where JabbaShit really doesn't belong.

     I was trying to look for Squirrel replacement for my scripting system and came across Wren too. That tagline at the beginning gives me chills and I don't understand anythign else that's going on there.

     Then there's Crystal, that insists on NOT using parenthesis, yet adapted the dumbest operator from C++, the double colon ::

     EDIT: Seems like the :: was not taken from C++ and this thing jsut tries to be PHP

     I just checked out NIM and it says "Simple Example" right there, and it does stuff that C can do but in way more steps.

     A 2024 programming language that's more convoluted than C from 1975 calling itself "simple"
