I'd say it tastes like chicken. :-)

Seems like {perl|ruby|etc}-light.

I don't get it. The scripting languaguages in common use are quite similar; what distinguishes Nimrod?

OK, that is Lispy (or Perl 6y). I do count Scheme as a scripting language today.

Perl 5 has had source filters for a long time. It isn't unique, afaik.

Still neat, I guess.


It's compiled and statically typed, amongst other things.

Did you not bother to read it?


Lots of lisp and Basic variants are compiled and typed. Still tastes like chicken.

But if it is really fast, then I'd say it is like some spicy indian chicken and consider using it -- if there also is an interpreted version.


We get it. Now stop overusing this chicken metaphor.
