From this project, I gather it wouldn't be hard to remove the need for calling `lisp!` on every form. Then you'd have a lisp syntax on Rust that is not embedde

  It would be impossible to remove the `lisp!` on every form, as you have to actually invoke the macro. You could make a build script that would read in lisp files, and then run them through a pre-processor of sorts before compiling. That's the closest thing, and it'd still require setting up that build.rs.

      Sure. I don't suggest that this is a good idea, just that it'd be possible this way.

  Just look at the progn expansion and create one like it that doesn't add the curly braces, and that ought to work I think; (perhaps call it "prog" or something).
