This isn't a Lisp, this is a paren based serialization of the syntax tree of an Algol like language.

Even the readme says as much: The syntax of wax is inspired by WebAssembly Text Format (wat), hence the name. Though it uses S-expressions reminiscent of the Lisp family, it is actually quite imperative and most resemblant of C in its design. The idea of transpiling to many languages is inspired by Haxe.
