Speaker: Chema https://twitter.com/Chemaclass Phel: https://twitter.com/phel_lang Completely open source: https://github.com/phel-lang/phel-lang Phel is a functional programming language that compiles to PHP. It is a dialect of Lisp inspired by Clojure and Janet. Features - Built on PHP's ecosystem - Good error reporting - Persistent data structures (Lists, Vectors, Maps and Sets) - Macros - Recursive functions - Powerful but simple Syntax - REPL The following example gives a short impression on how Phel looks like: ```phel # Define a namespace (ns my\example) # Define a variable with name "my-name" and value "world" (def my-name "world") # Define a function with name "print-name" and one argument "your-name" (defn print-name [your-name] (print "hello" your-name)) # Call the function (print-name my-name) ``` You can find all documentation here: https://phel-lang.org/
