CL has built in syntax for function definitions, local variable definitions, type declarations, function calls, loops, assignments, increments, value returning and a lot more. It just uses names operators in prefix position. foo += 1 then is (incf foo). for (...) { ... } is then (loop for ... do ...). ...i32 counter = 0;... is then (let ((counter 0)) (declare (type i32 counter)) ...) and so on...
