Author here. You're not missing anything - it really does just compile prefixed binary expressions. It is a bit flippant to call it a "Lisp compiler". Saying that, I did set out to write a simple Lisp compiler - I only managed to get those expressions working in the 2-3 hours I spent on it. I deliberately tried to call it a "Sexp compiler" instead of a "Lisp compiler" but I probably did a bad job when I wrote: So, I set out to write a Lisp to JVM bytecode compiler. Sorry :)
