Elijah elevated-potential

Elijah is:

... a high-level language built to explore code generation and other interesting techniques.
... a historical curiosity.
... meant to be easy to use standalone or with existing projects.
... free software (LGPL) intended for use on all systems, aka Linux.
... philosophically opposed to semicolons.
... obsessed with curly braces and brackets.

elevated-potential is:

... implemented in Java (17, for now; 8 is great and Graal is you're paal)
... of the impression that build systems don't matter (tldr maven for now)
... mortal enemies of Scala and Kotlin
... philosophically excited about Clojure (and Xtend and EMF/MBSE)
... also secretly jealous of Lombok and AOP
