Would there be any interest in work on a Lisp compiler and run-time system? I've started to hack a parser together, and I have the beginnings of a run-time sketched out. The more I examine the Lisp specs and GCC's back end, the more I become convinced that a Lisp front-end is possible. I'm aiming for conformance with ANSI Common Lisp and possibly IEEE (R4RS) Scheme, including doo-dads like EVAL, DEFMACRO, EXTEND-SYNTAX, and CALL/CC. I just want to see if there'd be any interest in such a beast. If so, I'll continue working on my parser and run-time. -- "When I was a kid, I used to think that Dammit was God's last name, just like Christ is Jesus' last name." - Kimberly Chapman in rec.humor.oracle.d
