One of these days I gotta write a proper program in a lisp. Everything I read about them makes them seem really cool, but I've never gotten around to it.

    Absolutely goated. There's just something about it that feels good. I think it's the fact the it feels a bit like writing Unix pipelines but in reverse. You can visualize data move through your program like pipes.

    I got a bit of this from working with pipes in Elixir (no surprise since it was Clojure-inspired) but I fall back to the simplicity of syntax lisp offers. I definitely recommend Janet for ease of tooling and built-in networking.
