Just another LISP clone...


Yes, and? What's wrong with that?


nothing's wrong with another lisp clone.

the problem is with not being upfront about it. The problem is the implication that this is something new, that may solve some new problem in some new way.

Now, it MAY do something other lisp clones don't, but if it does there's zero indication of it in the readme.


"new" when talking about a repository with 15 commits, the last one being 3 years ago.

It is obviously a toy experiment and it took my 5s to realize that.

While it does not say "this is a lisp", it also does not say "this is a new shiny thing that will change the world". In fact, it says nothing except "look at what i did".
