I'm still tinkering with the website for my PL experiment. I want the styling to express "labour of love hobby project". Choosing what program to show on the home page is really hard too. All the keywords are links like Racket. What do you think?

What are the most interesting upcoming scripting languages? Scripting remains an important part of the programming language ecosystem. Optimise time to first feature. Allow mutation of the running system to experiment. Interactive inspection of data.

I've factored out the Vector and Edge definitions in difftastic so I can experiment with different graph search algorithms! It's so much easier when you can toggle between them. So far A* is only 10% faster than Dijkstra, but I've found an additional 20% win that benefits all :)
