I have not tried to run it yet because it's for Linux for now.

I agree, that's one of the main things I think have to be fixed in Delight, having global vars (and maybe a global main function too).

The other main problem comes from the tabs as indents, this explains why it's bad:

There are other problems in Delight, but I think they are minor.

There's a (for me) surprisingly large discussion on Reddit about Delight, 82 comments so far:
