A lisp dialect, inspired by Clojure, hosted in Go.

• Interpreted / REPL development/scripting flow
• Transpiles to Go
• Native Go concurrency primitives
• easy Go interop

TODO

• Macros
• Transpile to Go
• Golang standard lib interop
• Golang channel type in Smack
• File/IO
• Option/Result types
• Compound Data Structures (struct)
• Traits/Behaviors/Protocols
• Namespaces/Modules
• AST Optimization
• Ref (mutable) types
• Basic Standard Lib (Currently not fully implemented)

Tentative Syntax Example

(def add (fn (a b) (+ a b)))
(def sub (fn (a b) (- a b)))
(def not (fn (a) if a false true))

(let (x 54 y 46) (add x y))

(def a 100)
(def b 200)

(println (do (
    (let (res 5) (>= res 50))
)))


(def table {:a 12 :b "bee"})

(def array [1 2 3])

(println "Ayyye this really something!!!")
