    Going by the example in the Github, it looks like a right-to-left Lisp with Arabic keywords. Does that fully describe the language or is there more to it than that?

    I’d be interested in hearing about the parts that are more influenced by Arabic than Scheme. Are there any beyond the keyword language and writing direction? Like a new keyword that does something useful but has no equivalent in Scheme because the concept isn’t easily expressed by an English keyword?

      It’s a demonstration of the cultural assumptions that are made in the implementations of the tech ecosystem. A major difference is ascii is insufficient for its use. Requiring unicode breaks a lot of assumptions; even github fails with it.

      PS this isn’t my project. I’m only relaying my own experience with it.
