How does this compare to Fennel?<p><a href="https://github.com/bakpakin/Fennel" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bakpakin/Fennel</a>

I have never asked this before, but Lua seems to have a couple of different languages implemented in itself, almost making me think of how JavaScript has a similar offering. Has anyone compared JavaScript and Lua in the language building regard? I'm curious to see what the most commonly used JS / Lua features are when designing a new language on top of those two languages. I know some languages have features that help you to build a new language (or it seemed to be like that) I think Java / C# do but I don't remember the names of the classes for that stuff, last I saw it was many years ago. Also of course I know Lisp lets you get there too, if I were to try to create my own language I'd try building my own lisp as a first project, and then go from there to try and make something different.
i have recently become interested in lua, especially the fun looking love framework [<a href="https://love2d.org/" rel="nofollow">https://love2d.org/</a>]. but one thing i have had trouble understanding is what lua is particularly useful for and/or used for. can someone explain what type of use cases are up lua's alley? thanks.
This looks interesting! I'm going to take another look at this during my coming vacation and play around together with <a href="https://love2d.org/" rel="nofollow">https://love2d.org/</a>.
My exposure to Lua is limited around writing Hammerspoon scripts. Lua is nice but I really wanted to write those scripts in a Lispy language, maybe something Clojurescque. Has anyone done Hammerspoon either in Urn or Fennel? Which one should I try? Would that even work?
