As a long-time user of Lisp-derived languages (Scheme, Tcl), Kashmir looks like an interesting variation.<p>It&#x27;s heartening to see a revival of Lisps. For reasons I can&#x27;t explain, s-expr syntax has a certain symmetry and beauty and is far more understandable to me than the alternatives.<p>Not sure yet what Kashmir brings to the table besides the Go output, and what advantages that provides.  I&#x27;ll have to study it further.<p>A half-formed thought floats across my brain that a Lisp&#x2F;Scheme compiling to Rust might have merit.  Considering the idea that a Rust back end could possibly minimize the necessity for GC, performance of the resulting executable would be less encumbered.<p>Really don&#x27;t know how far one could get in that direction, probably more difficult to achieve than I could imagine.
