--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phel is a functional programming language that compiles into PHP. It is a
dialect of Lisp inspired by Clojure and built on PHP's ecosystem. Among other
features, it has persistent data structures (Lists, Vectors, Maps, and Sets),
macros, recursive functions, and a REPL. This talk covers the basics of Phel and
includes a live coding demo showing its potential.
