I have been coding CoffeeScript for a while and slowly got rid of it's parentheses down to doing `do someFunction`. When I learned about Clojure and got excited to learn it (but haven't yet), I also gradually shifted my aesthetics to using (someFunction param1, param2) in CoffeScript every time that was needed for making it unambiguous (e.g. chained function calls), and now I consider someFunction(param) a most hideous invocation. But (fn x y) is even nicer. I have noticed you allow for optional commas when invoking multiple parameters. Overall I love your syntax decisions, maybe I'm partial for liking lispy-ness and lambda syntax, but still it's refreshing to see someone experimenting beyond all the C-ness that pervades us. I feel like there's a dash of Rust and a sprinkle of Haskell too. Nice work! And if you keep development I might actually consider using this for a project or two in the future.

I'm actually still on the fence about some of these details. > And if you keep development I might actually consider using this for a project or two in the future. That's great to hear, thanks! There is still a TON of bugfixing and fleshing-out of the runtime library to do, but when it's ready I'll be doing a project with it as well. Gotta see how it all holds up under pressure!
