I love this syntax! Coming from languages like R and Julia this all looks and feels super natural, and the implementation of the pipe is perfect.
The pseudo OOP stuff with self in maps is also very clever.
I’ve tried building some data structures in Lua and got hung up on meta tables and such - the use of “self” and the fact that maps here stay in order is awesome.
Makes me think of lightweight, dynamic rust.
This is super important (and hard)!
idk if this is an autism thing or not, but for me I logic myself into valuing external opinions as more important/credible than my own since they are potentially less biased.
Then I’m essentially judging myself based on my perception of the perception of others; two degrees of separation from reality!
