I propose the word “gitiot” for an idiot who posts a “there oughta be…” without googling it first. (I can’t figure out how I missed this. I’ve been in a “lisp on the one hand and Julia on the other” bubble for years. It simply never occurred to me to look for this, and it never crossed my desktop. Gitiot!!)

To be fair to yourself, LispSyntax.jl is more of a proof of concept than something that anyone would want to actually do significant coding in as can be seen by the TODO list in the README[1]. It also hasn't seen any active development in several years.

Just tried it; sorta works; the most basic examples run, but the repl is broken; probably designed for an older version of Julia; I'll see what I can do with it. Anyway, thanks!

The REPL had a patch, https://github.com/swadey/LispSyntax.jl/issues/36, but for some reason it didn't get released 3 years ago when the patch was actually created.

I had been intrigued by Lisp for years, but it was Julia's roots in Lisp that finally got me to explore the Lisp languages. I actually haven't used LispSyntax.jl, but it's close to what I'd like to have in a language.
