Language/website author here: nope. Just good old fashioned html, css, and a pinch of vanilla js just to get a few things working.

I had tried out making a forth a while back. It was not, in the end, as usable as I'd like. I thought something more in the vein of scheme might be useful (to me) and fun to work on. Some scheme features I think are tricky and not needed for beginners and I think somewhere along the line I started making this to be a beginner focused language that is easy to learn and hold in your head. I had a few people in my technology community in mind as people that it would be good for. In the end I really enjoyed coding in it, so have continued to work on it.

It is definitely not meant for wide usage, for anything other than just messing around having fun, etc. To be honest I am a little bummed it made its way to hacker news (I havent and wouldnt have posted it), as I really like my group of 6 users that I know and we all have fun contributing and coming up with ideas and cool use cases. I don't need it to grow or be used by a wider audience than the pubnix we all hang out on (rawtext.club).

That said, I'm glad you like the website! and if you like the lang that is nice too :-D
