I understand this project, along with most of the other &quot;Lisp compiling to ...&quot; projects are just for fun, but it&#x27;s still annoying to see so many of them announced.  Half the time it&#x27;s a stretch to even call them &quot;a Lisp.&quot;  It&#x27;s a little silly to call your language a Lisp if it&#x27;s missing a lot of the stuff that Lisp is associated with.  Does this Lisp even support macros?  Just say it&#x27;s a new language that uses s-expressions and compiles to Go or whatever.  Calling it a Lisp makes it look like a lame attempt to get more attention.<p>I&#x27;m mostly just annoyed because everyone releases all these incompatible Lisp wannabes, when Common Lisp, Scheme, and even Clojure, are all perfectly good languages.  Common Lisp has a few really good compilers (sbcl, lispworks, etc.) that produce code that&#x27;s competitive with C in some situations.  QuickLisp has really modernized the CL library ecosystem, and while there aren&#x27;t as many libraries available as there are for Python, Ruby, and Java, the situation has drastically improved recently, and is continuing to improve.
