You named your DSL the same thing as an industry standard animation tool known and used the world over.

Do you want to be completely ungooglable?


I just thought 'maya' would be the perfect name for something that is temporary and largely illusory. And a search for `maya dsl` gives appropriate results, so it's fine by me.


Sorry, but in this particular case I think even javascript would be more readable than this particular DSL in this particular example.


How is this a useful comment? This is for Clojure. You truly suggest people load a JS engine every time they use math in Clojure? Why JS and not Java then?


What about the differentiation function here[1]?

Looks like graph [1] can be helpful here, too.
