The author is obviously confused. Meteor is/was a module for Lisp, not a whole new system. It is not incomplete due to exhibiting Lisp syntax; that's a feature. > The first SCHEME system on top of a MACLISP system would be a Metasystem. To the present author, it would evidently be an incomplete Metasystem, while it relies on the underlying Lisp's reader. Neither a whole Metasystem or a library macro are incomplete for not having their own token-level syntax.
