With less than 24 hours behind it, Jist is in an “über alpha” stage—offering only minimal functionality and very little stability. The core of Jist is currently a cribbing of Joe Hanley’s JavaScript Lisp Interpreter. Stewdio is rebuilding this to favor lexical closures over dynamic scoping, and to add avenues for DOM manipulation.

Suggestions and code submissions welcome. See Jist at http://stewdio.org/jist/.

Today Stewdio is adding Arc to our list of active languages and pursuing Web frameworks written in it. Could an Arc-based framework pull the rug from under Django (written in Python) and Rails (written in Ruby)? It’s going to need some evangelists to write those libraries and tutorials. Join in.
