Hoon

Hoon is the "higher-level" programming language that is part of the Urbit project, built on the lower-level Nock. The whole project seems to be attempting to define a totally new computing infrastructure built on a virtual machine, with new languages, protocols, and mysterious terminology. Trying to figure out just what the point of the whole thing is can be difficult.

Hoon appears to have a syntax that uses lots of parentheses (like LISP), but also uses square brackets for other things.
