The Next Symta

An experimental Lisp-like language:

Of course that is a prototype, but it shows how initial parentheses-ridden mess (root/boot/*.hit files) bootstraps into a readable language (root/lib/*.hit files).

So basically a barebone Scheme to C or ASM compiler takes about 200 lines of Common Lisp code. Same should be true for Haskell (typechecker would be a set of macros and not a part of the compiler). The most complex part should be runtime, because support for bignums requires a lot of assembly hacking.
