Thanks for all of the comments!
Quick reaction:
1. Nanolang is a total thought experiment. The key word its description is "experimental" - whether it's a Good experiment or a Bad experiment can be argued either way, especially by language purists!
2. Yes, it's a total Decorator Crab of a language. An unholy creation by Dr Frankenstein, yes! Those criticisms are entirely merited. It wasn't designed, it accreted features and was a fever dream I couldn't seem to stop having. I should probably take my own temperature.
3. I like prefix notation because my first calculator was an HP calculator (the HP 41C remains, to this day, my favorite calculator of ALL TIME). I won't apologize for that, but I DO get that it's not everybody's cup of tea! I do, however, use both vi and emacs now.
Umm. I think that about covers it. All of this LLM stuff is still incredibly young to me and I'm just firing a shotgun into the dark and listening to hear if I hit anything. It's going to be that way for a while for all of us until we figure out what works and what does not!
