Requesting feedback on my Lispy Nix language spec

(originally posted on Nix’s discord channel, reposting here to garner more attention)

Hi! I’m pretty new to writing languages and maybe someone can roast mine until I get better.

I always wanted to lispify my config. Although Guile is nice, I like the Nix ecossystem too much to switch to Guix. So I wanted to get use the opportunity to learn more on how to make these.

I’m not settled on a spec yet, so the implementation is not done nor half done. I just wanna share the specification and see if anyone has comments. If you enjoy Lisps, maybe share what would you want to see in such a language that could make you check it out.

Here’s the spec ^ and thanks for your time!
