That's from 2011.

Emacs Lisp has now support for lexical scope.

This is really cool. I'm interested in checking out Common Lisp coming from Clojure, but I really like Clojure's syntax. A macro-heavy library that could recreate the syntax would be awesome, although I'm sure I couldn't collaborate with anyone at that point.


Common Lisp is very nice, do take a look.

I think you could implement custom syntax for things like [] by using reader macros.


Read everything JVToups wrote, it's quite fun and inspiring.

elisp monads

stack monad (forth like threaded code)

pattern matching

lots of good bits
