Functional embeddable lisp with C interop, & performant data types

Janet is a functional and imperative programming language and bytecode interpreter. It is a modern lisp, but lists are replaced by other data structures with better utility and performance arrays, tables, structs, tuples. The language also supports bridging to native code written in C, meta-programming with macros, and bytecode assembly.
