This is second article I read about Janet and by the same author (of course) and I’m really intrigued (especially since I am proficient in ELisp).

Yet beyond that, I’m really taken by author’s passion for the language. That’s one great language advocacy at work.

I can really feel the author’s excitement in every sentence. Reading his work is great fun, and really does make me want to use Janet

I agree. I prefer Shen, but Janet has been intriguing me for the past few years. Darn, I'm going to spend the weekend (nights) playing with Janet!

His writing for janet.guide grated me a bit at first, but the guide was good, and then I found myself laughing along. I already liked Janet, but that guide got me back into it. This guide is just confirmation bias for me, but I'll read it because I (now) like the author.
