I’ve been working on this (not so little anymore) project for some time now, and I’m finally happy with the branding, UX and docs state.

It’s a scripting language I made at first as a toy, to learn new parsing methods, explore compiler optimizations, and go back to VM land where everything is low level and amazing (at least for me) ; it’s now a fully fledged language that can be used as a scripting language like Python or Ruby, and can also be very easily embedded inside a project, as one would do with Lua.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions on the project!

A different way of stating my remark is that it might be nice to have a page that lists other lisp variants and has a bullet point or two for saying how ArkScript does things differently in a way that someone might find nicer.

I’m no frontend dev, so I battle a lot with it so it displays how I want ; I tried with flex to center vertically the « getting started » section, will have to try again.

Yeah, I remember having to fight similar battles when I created a web page for a similar project! Don't worry about it if it proves too much of a pain.

Thanks for the idea, I’ll try to add a comparison page soon!

The vertical alignement is now fixed, I got lucky with bootstrap ; it looks way nicer, thanks!
