I created https://github.com/onnlucky/hotel for a few different reasons.

1) I wanted to see how far you can go by making every language concept first class, because only first class things can be an abstractions.

2) But another big motivation was that languages usually grow towards building large systems in. I wanted every tradeoff to go to the human side, making it more suitable for beginners. For example, 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3, slower by not using native floating point numbers, but much more humane. Similar motivation to remove the import statements. Or no difference between object fields or methods, e.g. string.length is the same as string.length().
