Nelua Programming Language

While I don't begrudge anyone from creating a new language, I'm trying to figure out what this brings to the table that languages like Nim, Zig, Ecl, Crystal, V, Forth, Gambit, etc... lack. The only thing I can really find is "syntax". Lua isn't really my cup of tea, but to each their own. Regardless, looks like a fun project.

Ah yes, the principle of DRYO

Definitely Rewrite Your Own.

And some quote from Feynman about not understanding until you do it yourself.

It’s funny you mention this because none of those languages appeal to me. This one only sort of begins to catch my attention.
