Introduction

The aim is to have a lisp interpreter in haskell.

Goals

• have nice, readable, useful error messages
• have lexical scoping, not dynamic scoping
• have macros in the language
• write neat, documented code
• have a test framework / CI

Nice to-haves

• emit LLVM code for speed
• alternatively, generate custom bytecode with things like constant folding so it's fairly optimised

Non goals

• be "industrial strength"
• be the most lightweight interpreter around
