Hey HN,<p>Isaac Clayton here! I'm nervous yet <i>very</i> excited to share an early preview of a novel programming language I've been developing for the past year or so. Passerine is an <i>functional scripting language</i>, blending the rapid iteration of languages like Python with the concise correctness of languages like Ocaml, Rust, and Scheme. If you'd like to learn more, read the Overview section of the README.<p>It's still a ways away from being fully complete, but this release marks the introduction of Passerine's macro system. Like the order of songbirds it was named after, Passerine sings to more than just one tune – this new hygenic macro system makes it easy to extend the language itself – allowing you to bend the langauge to your needs, rather than bending your needs to the language!<p>This submission links to the GitHub Repo, but there's also a website (<a href="https://www.passerine.io" rel="nofollow">https://www.passerine.io</a>) if you'd like to look at that.<p>Have a nice day!
