Greetings! My name is https://github.com/ingydotnet/ and I was invited here by @pez. I helped invent and currently maintain the https://yaml.org/. A few months ago I started writing a Clojure platform called https://github.com/ingydotnet/lingy. Lingy intends to target host languages currently lacking a Clojure, starting with Perl. Lingy wants to take Clojure concepts deep into Perl including compiling to some JITing VM (tbd). @pez already has me working on an nREPL implementation for integration with Calva and other Clojure editors! I also started a sister language called https://github.com/yaml/yamlscript that is really just an alternate syntax reader for Clojure platforms. At https://tprc.to/tprc-2023-tor/ last week I gave a talk about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OcFh-HaCyI. I'm extremely pleased that it got noticed by @pez and led me to this amazing place. Among other things, a top goal of both Lingy and YAMLScript is to bring more programming communities together. Please stop by the new #lingy and #yamlscript channels and let's chat!

Hey there @U05H8N9V0HZ. I watched your talk about YAMLScript & Lingy (I followed the link from Clojure News!). Along with Clojure I also ❤️ Perl. So I’m familiar with your impressive work. I’ve also made a few Clojure implementations and had a similar idea for a project. A Clojure inspired Lisp that integrates with Perl with multiple compilation targets for sysadmin/devops stuff. I intended to call it “Llama”, it’s like a Camel, but it’s not and it sounds like lambda but it’s not. Any way watching the talk made worlds collide for me. So it was quite a pleasure. If I manage to find a little time I’d love to hack on Lingy.

@U118UP8HH It would really great to have you contribute to Lingy in any fashion. Even guiding me in the right directions. Come on over to #C05GUFQQLSK and #C05HQFMTURF and let's chat. 🙂

I can recommend. It’s a pleasure cooperating with @U05H8N9V0HZ!
