How does it explain the motivation behind creating another language? What were the reasons the developer/team behind goby thought existing languages/tools didnt help? My questions are also about how different goby vs ruby is, or goby vs go. I also question if the language is dynamically or statically typed, etc which are bare minimum I expect in introduction.

If you ask me why I started this project at first place, I'd say it's just for fun and practicing.

And we know that Goby is not special enough by giving green thread or channel. So currently our main goal is to let users use Go's packages and manipulate Go objects directly in Goby.

And we already made some progress, please check out this: https://goby-lang.gitbooks.io/goby/content/plugin-system.htm...
