Show HN: JedLang, my first attempt at a language

+1 for implementing a Lisp in JavaScript that compiles to C.

Just a heads up, the main script in your package.json points to a file that doesn't exist.

Why the obfuscated names? I mean

> There is reduce (REDC), array (ARRY), filter (FLTR) and each (EACH).

It would be much cleaner to just use full names (array instead of ARRY)

I dare say "it is intended to be very terse" answers that.

Cleaner, yes, but more keystrokes!

They are all uppercase so if you calculate that shift on every keystroke it's actually more :-) Or at least the same with array for example.

EACH has more keystrokes than each.

It wouldn't be properly UNIX-like without randomly omitting vowels.

Those precious bytes of disk space though

Nice! First, but hopefully not last. Good hack!

Cool. Well done.
