G-Fu – a pragmatic Lisp embedded in Go

In plain words

G-Fu is a Lisp programming language embedded within Go, designed for developers who want functional programming capabilities in a Go environment. It enables users to write Lisp code that runs on the Go runtime, combining Lisp's symbolic processing with Go's performance and ecosystem. Suitable for those exploring language interoperability or seeking an alternative syntax for Go-based projects, G-Fu bridges the gap between traditional Lisp and modern systems programming.

  AGL a toy language that compiles to Go2025 · github.com · ▲83

  I spent the past 2 weeks making this toy programming language. I basically forked the Go scanner/parser, and changed the syntax to have functions return a single value. This enable proper Result/Option type to be used as well as propagating errors with an operator. I also wanted to have short "type inferred" anonymous functions to be able to use functions like Map/Reduce/Filter, without having to use 100 characters to specify the types.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
