    Nezha: Aiki's Smaller, Tougher Sibling.

    Nezha: smaller, tougher, and less patient with baggage.

    Nezha is Aiki's smaller, tougher sibling. The name comes from the youthful warrior of Chinese mythology: formidable despite his size, independent-minded, and not especially interested in accepting the way things have always been done.

    Aiki gave Nezha its starting point. Nezha is an effort to pare the language down and tackle a harder question: can the essential acts of program evaluation be described by a small, finite declarative vocabulary, rather than buried inside a handwritten evaluator?
