 **Phel** is a functional programming language that compiles down to PHP. It's a modern Lisp dialect inspired by [Clojure](https://clojure.org/) and [Janet](https://janet-lang.org/), tailored to bring functional elegance and expressive code to the world of PHP development.

-## Key Features of Phel
-
-Why code in Phel? Here's what makes it click:
-
-- ✅ Runs on the rock-solid PHP ecosystem
-- 🧠 Helpful and human-readable error messages
-- 📚 Built-in persistent data structures: Lists, Vectors, Maps, Sets
-- 🧩 Macro system for advanced metaprogramming
-- 🔁 Tail-recursive function support
-- ✨ Minimal, readable Lisp syntax
-- 💬 Interactive REPL for tinkering and prototyping
-
-## Why Choose Phel for Functional Programming in PHP?
-
-Phel started as an [experiment in writing functional PHP](/blog/functional-programming-in-php) and quickly turned into its own thing.
-
-It exists because we wanted:
-
-- A Lisp-inspired functional language
-- That runs on affordable PHP hosting
-- That's expressive, debug-friendly, and easy to pick up
-
-If you've ever wished PHP was a bit more... functional, Phel is for you.
