Yeah, that makes sense; I’m not planning on running at it this time (I’d have to start by figuring out bindings for a graphics lib), but I’d be curious your thoughts for next time.

Re: homoiconicity, it’s not, as far as I can tell, though it has a powerful ast-driven hygenic macro system as you’d expect from a scheme-derivative; to me, that’s what would distinguish a lisp - not necessarily homoiconicity, but macro-induced malleability.

Anyway, just a thought, mostly for the future!

Thanks!

> Dylan is an object-functional language originally created by Apple for the Newton. Dylan is a direct descendant of Scheme and CLOS (without the Lisp syntax) with a programming model designed to support efficient machine code generation, including fine-grained control over dynamic and static behaviors.

I haven't ever really tried, but it's very definitely a scheme, though it doesn't have s-exprs; given that fennel and clojure are appropriate, but have completely different runtime models, is something with more of a lisp runtime model but without the sexprs still appropriate?
