Repository scope
GitHub describes it as a dialect of The Monkey Programming Language. The repository metadata lists Rust as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: pua-lang is a dialect of The Monkey Programming Language, intended to mirror the inspirational babble of Alibaba managers ("Aba-aba"). The name "pua" refers to the manipulative way Alibaba treats its employees -- much like how pickup artists treat their trophies.
What's pua-lang?
The README section "What's pua-lang?" states: This implementation is a fork of rs-monkey-lang. Monkey is a programming language designed to learn interpreters. It comes from Writing An Interpreter In Go.

The README section "with wasm playground" states: We are aware that the output streams don't quite work. Rust doesn't really have I/O redirection and wasm32-unknown-unknown has no I/O by default.
Summary
The README section "Summary" states: - Everything Monkey has: - C-like syntax - variable bindings - integers and booleans - a string data structure - an array data structure - a hash data structure - arithmetic expressions - built-in functions - first-class and higher-order functions • closures - Unicode identifiers (UAX 31, XID) plus monetary extensions ( [¥$ ] ) and an overly-lax definition of Emojis. - Rust-compatible double-quoted string syntax. - Ridiculous naming for the Aba-aba. Comparison with Monkey:
