You might like another language called toaq (toaq.net) which is a tonal logical conlang, it has probably the nicest looking writing system I’ve seen

Thanks! Yes I’m aware of Toaq. I like many aspects of it. I just have too much baggage from trying to learn one tonal language (mandarin) to try to pick up another.

This is basically what Esperanto and Ido do, different word classes and in different letters.

Purescript has an erlang backend FYI

That's interesting!

I think Typescript would be "easier" for a larger group of developers to hook on

PAIP was my favourite, I recall not really liking Land of Lisp as I felt like the quality of the example code wasn't great, but I did enjoy the Dice of Doom implementation.

I remember playing with this years ago! It was really cool - looks like the underlying AI platform is still around http://nn.cs.utexas.edu/?opennero

Maybe have a look at Closh [1], a clojure based shell

I think my problem is less, that there are no alternatives you can setup yourself, but more, that there is no useful standard ;-)

But having a list of good alternatives if probably good too.

Factor for sure

For casual readers, `dip` pops the top of the stack, executes a quotation, then pushes the top of the stack back on.

So this pops the max value off the stack, applies the quoted `max` word to the x and min stack values, then pops the max value back on the stack and applies the `min` word to the result and the max.

You could have a setting on the client that lets the user specify that that's how they always want to see images, I on the other hand might specify that I want to open them in a new window, or see a thumbnail until i hover over, etc.

Same with how headers are displayed (maybe i want folding or something), whether an ToC is displayed, colours, fonts, etc.

The point is that the user can decide all this stuff, without having to hack it around the author's own styles and scripts.
