I'm so impressed. I love the syntax (especially the backslash for lambdas and the colon for symbols). I don't know so many languages but it feels quite "new" to me, which is quite hard given the number of languages out there. I recently thought about building my own language just for fun and it makes me realize how all my ideas are just a copy and mix of other languages. The website is also super clean and beautiful (the font is great). How did you manage to use syntax highlighting for your own language on your website?
One thing: I was confused (as others stated here I think) by the link to Robins Loan's website and thought it was an other article from you about Cassette.
Would you consider writing a blog post about how you created it (building the lexer, parser, etc.)? I would definitely be interested.
Thanks! It's hard to escape making a syntax that's just a blend of other language's syntax elements, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Cassette's syntax is in some ways my favorite elements from other languages, and is most influenced by Elixir.

I used Pandoc to format a markdown file to HTML, which supports custom syntax definitions for code sections. (The relevent flags are `--standalone --template=template.html --syntax-definition=syntax.xml`.) The syntax definition is written in an XML format used by the Kate text editor (from KDE): https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/katepart/highlight.html

Thanks, I'll clarify this or remove it soon.

For sure! I've been meaning to write up some of the technical aspects of the project, so those will appear on the site at some point in the future.
