Comment on Shen 1.7, successor to Qi II, releasedparent

Comments

Qi is a lisp like language with a type system similar to Haskell, except that it's fully Turing Complete (the type system). Shen is the next version which was meant to be more accessible to regular users.

Shen was designed to not only run on Common Lisps like Qi, but also on Javascript (released mid-October) and Scheme. Practically all Qi programs will run in Shen, but not all Shen programs will run in Qi.
