YAMLScript
YAMLScript is a dynamic, general purpose programming language. It has a clean YAML syntax and embeds nicely into existing YAML files, making the desired parts of them dynamic. When a YAMLScript program is run, the source code transpiles to Clojure code, and is evaluted by a native binary runtime interpreter called `ys` (not by the JVM).

About YAMLscript
So you're ready to learn YAMLScript?!
Congratulations!
You are about to embark on a journey that will change the way you think about data and programming.
Along the way you can expect to learn:
- A lot more about the YAML data language syntax
- A lion's share of Lisp programming concepts
- How to get things done with Functional Programming and immutable data structures
- Enough of the Clojure programming language to be dangerous
YAMLscript is a new, functional, Open Source programming language with a YAML
based syntax that transpiles to Clojure code which is then evaluated by a
native binary runtime interpreter called ys.
YAMLScript is an excellent choice for solving Exercism exercises. All of the exercises in this track have been solved in 3-50 comfortably spaced lines of YAMLScript (10-15 on average).
It is a great language for learning functional programming and Lisp concepts, while using a clean, friendly and fairly painless syntax inspired by the best parts of YAML, Clojure, Perl, Python, JavaScript and CoffeeScript.
