I’m currently working on Tiny [0], a small statically typed programming languages which is even more minimal than Wren.

Looks interesting. How is the type just `array` in that example though? Doesn't it have to be an array of something?

Interestingly, given the minimal core of the language, arrays are not built in (this is something I'm looking to change, of course).

As such, the "array" type is just an opaque type exposed via the C binding API. Given that there are no generics at the moment, this array API works with "any" values (similar to "any" in e.g. TypeScript).

Very interesting!

BTW: I think I found a typo: "MATCH2("+=", PERCENTEQUAL);" — should be "%=" ??

Thanks! Just fixed this. Seems the "%=" operator is less useful than I thought.
