I’d say US/USians, as America is more than just the US. America is composed of more countries like Canada, Mexico, Brazil…
You can downvote me all you want, it doesn’t change anything.

Hi there (a bit late, my bad) ; I’ve composed a short blog post about the language, comparing it with Clojure and Common Lisp: https://arkscript-lang.dev/blog/comparison-with-other-lisps/
Thanks, I’ll check it out!


First of all, the language is lisp inspired. ArkScript has s-expressions and code as data via its macros, its reads the same (left to right, prefix notation).
Keywords wise, we are not the same, which is a small but striking difference when comparing them side by side.
ArkScript has no classes nor structures, and no quoting/quasiquoting.
AFAICT both ArkScript and Common Lisp (a big lisp contender) have lexical scoping, so no real difference here.
ArkScript has strong dynamic typing too, like many other lisp.
The big advantage I would say ArkScript has, is its embedded capabilities. You can very easily use it in a project, as its C++ API has been designed for this.
America is not just North America you know. It’s a whole ass continent. America isn’t a country, the US is. So when you say America when you actually talk about only the US, it’s as is you were talking about Mexico, Canada, Brazil… as well as the US. Which is… dumb? False? Erroneous?
