Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Blog of Calvin Rose, creator of the Janet language. HN links it for Janet material, such as a write-up of how Janet's PEG parser module works, and for background on Janet and Fennel.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
The author, Calvin Rose, is a (I assume pretty great) compiler engineer at NVIDIA who has a personal affinity for LISPs and Lua: https://bakpakin.com/ I don't think the average programming language enthusiast is maintaining multiple well-known languages.

HN discussionThis is funny, cos I saw this stated somewhere on HN the other day, was totally amazed he'd done both, went and checked, and found out it was untrue - I think! Someone correct me please if I'm confused. Calvin Rose made Janet https://github.com/bakpakin and https://bakpakin.com/ Phil Hagelberg made Fennel https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/fennel and https://technomancy.us/colophon
