I'm working on building a good language to target the PHP environment. There are a lot of feature that I can borrow from Clojure but not all of them are need. At some points I even go in another direction. I want to keep this freedom in order to build the best language that targets PHP.

I'm a long term PHP developer and I always liked functional programming. However, PHP is not so good in it [1].

I think in general, PHP's shared nothing architecture is a very good fit for functional programming. You get a HTTP Request and return a HTTP Response.

Phel code is compiled to PHP code (in terms of a string, not bytecode). However, the PHP Code is than interpreted by PHP using PHP's eval function.

No, this is not possible. However, with a better editor support it could be possible to send expression from the editor to the REPL. That way you can do "REPL Driven Development"

Creator here: That's a problem of all new languages. There is not much in terms of libraries, tools or documentation. I started Phel last year and published a first version recently. I have a few plans to build some good tooling around Phel but that takes times.

Re:Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown? on Sunday June 21, 2020 @03:42PM (#23594753)
I build a Lisp inspired functional programming language for PHP [1]. Normally, I build web applications with PHP. But during the Lockdown I tried to build something different. It is still a lot of fun and I found some contributes that help me to release the first version soon.
