About:
Arturo is a modern, multi-paradigm programming language designed for readability and efficiency. It features a minimalist syntax, built-in support for complex numbers and matrices, and a powerful DSL engine. It aims to be a portable scripting solution that is easy to embed in other applications.

Key Features:

Multi-paradigm (functional, imperative, object-oriented)
Built-in support for complex numbers and matrices
Minimalist and readable syntax
DSL (Domain Specific Language) engine
Portable and embeddable

Use Cases:

Rapid application prototyping
Scientific computing and numerical analysis
Scripting for embedded systems
Domain-specific language creation

Alternatives:

Python – Arturo aims for a more concise syntax and built-in matrix support, whereas Python relies on libraries like NumPy for heavy math.
Ruby – Both prioritize developer happiness, but Arturo is designed with a stronger focus on functional programming concepts and DSL capabilities.
