Tried porting a small script to Janet. It's a tiny Clojure-like Lisp implementation with functional programming not enforced. It doesn't have Clojure's immutable data structures either.
It's the same number of lines as the Python version of the script and just as readable. I used spork and sh libraries in Janet, though not required. The core isn't batteries-included, but just 1 MB.
P.S. There's a Raku version of the script that's only half the lines. Bash script can be a one-liner.
