Just quick take from the code examples.
How is this more joyful than Rust Or Java or anything?
What is the key difference here that is about adding 'joy'?
Just not picking up on the sales case.

There is an emphasis on 'joy', it can be just about having fun.
Im all for the idea of optimising for developers fun and joy but im not picking up the sales pitch either
This is a hobby language that someone made in his spare time and he gave it a website to share it. I don't see a sales pitch at all. It's more like someone sharing pictures of a hand-carved pieced of furniture they made themselves. The point isn't to say everyone else should be using it and it's better than other furniture. It's just hey, I made this, take a look if you're interested.
It isn't like there is some fancy new interface or paradigm to the language.
It is using "Joy" as in "Joy to all", "be joyful", "Have a nice Day".
Think the title of the post was maybe misleading that way.
Then the 'Reason', the 'point'.
It is branded as "joy", this language does something different to make it 'Joyful".
At first glance it looks like any other common language.
So all I'm asking is - what is different. What is the change that someone can point at and say 'this solves some problem that makes it joyful'???
