I do not know how to interpret the benchmarks. OCaml is really fast, so the numbers do not make sense to me, at a quick glance. Is it worse or better to Python or Ruby according to the benchmark? I would like to see the code, too, because if it is that much slower than Python or Ruby, then there is a serious problem with the implementation.

Feature-wise it looks very complete / modern.

It seems to have a pretty high ratio of "I use X because it's the only one that has Y" type features, all in one place. Very appealing to Python users, since it fills a few well known language gaps.

Cool. A golike from 1993 with a similar name to a certain modern JS runner.

looks like a very pleasant and capable language! honestly not what I was expecting given the origin story as a game scripting language.

I was not expecting to feel as sad as I did after seeing the name Animatek after all these years.

If things are hard, seek help, please.
