🎩🤓 "Why Janet?" is the riveting saga of a programmer's mid-life crisis, where he ditches his spouse Python for a flirty little #Lisp dialect named Janet. 💔📚 Apparently, writing a book about obscure languages is the new therapy. Forget self-help; embrace self-imposed #syntax hell! 😂

Why Janet?

I never thought it could happen to me. I mean, parentheses? In this day and age? But for the past couple years, my go-to programming language for fun side projects has been a little Lisp dialect called Janet. (print "hey janet") I like Janet so much that I wrote an entire book about it, and put it on The Internet for free, in the hopes of attracting more Janetors to the language. I think you should read it, but I know that you don’t believe me, so I’m going to try to convince you. Here’s my attempt at a sales pitch: here is why you – you of all people – should give Janet a chance.
