Fennel is pretty nice.

I wish it had gradual typing support though or at least allowed for type annotation for static tooling. Not that dynamic typing isn't a valid choice but with more and more languages getting gradual typing support it is hard to go back.

I guess we could build something like Coalton but for Lua.



I've been working on something along those lines in eli:

Nice looking language! What’s the status? Is it stable?


That would be a question of definitions :)

It's mostly addition by now, rare that something disappears or changes significantly.

No prod use by anyone afaik.


I did find this, though it seems runime only: https://github.com/dokutan/typed-fennel

Maybe a static system can be built upon it.
