- New operators
+= -= *= ^= /= - New
unlessandtrystatements - Different syntax for declaring loops, statements and functions
- Classes with multiple inheritance
- C-like preprocessor
Jelly syntax is similar to lua syntax, but with some differences.

Instance creation:
--There is no special 'constructor method' in jelly, you can use any method as a constructor and have multiple constructors in the same class
local tom = Human():init('Tom')
tom:say('hello world')
local cat = Cat()
cat:meow()
local neko = Neko():init('Yui') --init method from Human class
neko:meow()
neko:say('hello world')
f -> () --define function 'f'
end
()-> --define unnamed function
end
