Amalthea has the same continuation-passing style.
``It's a pretty obscure language, you've probably never heard of it.''

Fexl is verbosier than Python.

Symta:



= say "Hello, world!\n" = dup 2 beep = say "You typed: $(getline)"

Fexl:



print "Hello, world"; nl;

beep; beep;    # beep the speaker twice

getline \line

print "You typed: "; print line;

Most of the time when I'm dealing with structured data I'm reading it from some other source anyway, such as CSV files etc.
Is that because language is so bad, he cant represent even a list in it? People use XML with C/C++, because C++'s own format is verbose and has to be recompiled every time. Lispers for example have no reason to use XML.

Note that we use "==" there to indicate that append is defined in terms of itself. If we used "=", Fexl would think we meant to redefine append, replacing a previous definition with a new one, and would give us an error message because append was not previously defined.
Quirky. Author himself criticizes the language and yet ignores his own thoughts.

So it's shitty like C++, but with more annoying syntax.
It also looks like Patrick Chkoreff is OP trying to sell his language.
