Thanks for sharing. Very interesting, especially since it’s based on Koka, which I’ve been experimenting with and still trying to wrap my head around. It also reminds me a lot of Shen (https://shenlanguage.org/). I’ll definitely try this out.

How do you pronounce the name?

I created a backronym of a longwinded name and I pronounce it as hi-ca, or perhaps hee-ca :)

Shen is very interesting, I actually created a lisp in hica as a learning exercise, check it out at https://github.com/cladam/hica-lisp
