I think I am in love. Clojure + Rust, everything is typed, but I don't need to annotate. And algebraic effects that I really wanted to explore in Ocaml, but now can do it in language with way easier syntax. I might be missing bit of Clojure dynamic nature, but it looks like a bunch of really interesting ideas in one language.

Coming from Clojure, I like types being invisible. Square brackets feels like a needless change. If you want sexprs, just use sexprs. Interesting ideas, as you say.

Yeah. Clojure is by far my favorite dynamic language. But, I love static types. At a glance, a quick glance at Loon- looks like it could just flat out become my favorite language. Loon with a standard library that approaches Go’s would be :chefskiss:
