How does Mulisp know how to print an arbitrary Lisp-style macro in Algol style?

• timonoko 2y ago
  Obviously such Algol program produces Lisp-code and looks incomprehensible. But when Mulisp finally conquers the world, we can make backquote-style macro for Algol, where special characters indicate that following stuff needs to evaluated and inserted to the code.

        I asked an LLM and it suggested humor is forbidden here on English days ending in "y" because of Poe's law. This is why we can't we have nice things.
