I'm sorry, but I cannot get excited over Yet Another Implementation of McCarthy's LISP[1]. If your Lisp had _any_ interesting feature, e.g. call/cc, or object system, or nifty macro system, or something else, then, maybe, but doing the the same old, trivial thing, again and again, does not seem very interesting for me.

We don't usually see yet another Brainfuck interpreter, or yet another Fibonacci queue implementation on HN's front page, so why LISP?
