+summary: functional and imperative programming language and bytecode interpreter
+description: |
+    **Janet** is a functional and imperative programming language and bytecode interpreter. It is a
+    modern lisp, but lists are replaced
+    by other data structures (arrays, tables (hash table), struct (immutable hash table), tuples).
+    The language also supports bridging to native code written in C, meta-programming with macros, and bytecode assembly.
