Yes, it seems Lisp wouldn't be appropriate for this.



I tried typing `1` into the REPL. Am I doing this right?


Maybe. What sound did it make?


It was blue.


I believe that solution is possible for the Lisp-modified task description:

Write a cyclic quine that reproduces itself through 128 Lisp languages

because we easily have that many, or more.


I mean, isn't generating quines and twines one of the examples used to show of MiniKanren?

William Byrds presentations of MK are absolutely delightful, by the way.
