It looks a lot like Python but for some reason the syntax seems more intuitive to me. Also, I want to develop games for <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/pico8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pico8</span></a> so it's a good match. I hope I can keep this enthusiasm up long enough to program a whole game.</p>
