"Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in." — Larry Wall

"Desiderius Erasmus coined the term lunula to refer to the rounded parentheses (), recalling the round shape of the moon." - Wikipedia

lunula (n.) - A small crescent-shaped structure or marking, especially the white area at the base of a fingernail that resembles a half-moon.

Project Description

Lunula is a portable and embeddable dialect of Lisp. The syntax currently looks a lot like Scheme with a few Common Lisp features.

Project Goals

• Be highly portable. Porting Lunula to another platform or host language is a trivial task.
• Lunula is written in Lunula, except for the small virtual machine.
• Support many of the good features of Common Lisp, i.e. DEFMACRO, generic functions and CLOS.
• Integrate with the host language as seamlessly as possible.
• Be fast enough for most things, falling back to the host language when necessary.
• Support many host languages and platforms: .NET, Javascript, Actionscript and Common Lisp.
