Documentation and examples are clean and well done
From 2 comments
Very good job with the documentation. Ultra nice and clean. By the way, what's up with the "?" functions? Are they all predicates? And what about "if" vs "if?" ?!

Is it production-ready?
From 1 comment
Impressive work, especially for an one-man project! I've seen Aguila and Grafito. Would you say they are production-ready?

Why are some functions named with a question mark and how do if and if? differ?

Very good job with the documentation. Ultra nice and clean. By the way, what's up with the "?" functions? Are they all predicates? And what about "if" vs "if?" ?!

Very interesting syntax, clearly REBOL-inspired.
p0oli8 on HNI totally understand what you mean. However - and not because I'm the author of the language - once you get the general idea of Arturo (or any of the languages of the Rebol…
