Just "defmacro" and get back to solving your real problem.
Learning isn't a real problem?
- jrockway 18y agoLearning isn't a real problem? If you are just doing something for fun/learning, there is no need to release it to the world. I've written lots of programming languages, but I don't expect anyone to use them. I don't see newbs learning Perl, Python, C++, Java, etc. by writing their own dialect or interpreter for them. This language is more like C++ or Java than Lisp.

- omouse 18y agoExactly. The Internet is big enough that you can ignore the millions of learning projects that exist. It's not like we're running out of space or anything ;-)
