Some advice to the author: you can considerably tighten up your writing by putting the most important things first. Take the introduction (which is, bizarrely, not the Introduction that comes three paragraphs later.) There are over 300 words before the actual project, Cognition, is mentioned (second sentence of second paragraph). All this stuff about Lisp is great, but is that the most important part of the project? Should it not be something about the project itself?
When I'm reading something informational (rather than recreational) I'm always asking myself "is this worth my time?" You should address this as soon as possible, by telling the reader what the document is about right at the start. "Cognition is a new language exploring user modifiable syntax" or something similar. I didn't get past the first four paragraphs because I couldn't determine it was worth continuing.
