Good catch, you are correct. I tried to justify creating something new on https://github.com/axellang/axel/wiki/Why-Axel%3F https://github.com/axellang/axel/wiki/Why-Axel%3F under "... Another Lisp?" (apologies for the "marketing" feel, and for quoting myself :-P ): > Axel aims to be a spiritual successor to Liskell. At the time of writing, Liskell's last commit was in 2009, so Axel tries to take over where Liskell left off. Axel hopes to provide a production-ready Lisp on top of the Haskell ecosystem, while emphasizing developer experience along the way. If nothing else, I'm also hoping to just give the idea of a Lisp-like Haskell another chance, 'cause I think it's cool :-)
