Thank you for your interest in this project and your relevant remarks.

About {def lis| {lambda {:x} {li :x}}}, I wrote this expression in http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/?view=sandbox and I didn't see any infinite loop. Click on the top-left "+" in the frameview and then on edit to inspect the code.

OK, the error messages are terse, there is no syntax colorization in the textarea. There is a timeout for each keypress but it has to be improved.

It's a work in progres, I'm alone and I need help.

I can't reproduce it anymore. I had a bulleted list near the function definition and somehow as soon as I pressed backspace it went unresponsive until the browser's window crashed. I'll keep trying, but there must have been something else happening.

I understand this is hard work. I hope you find time and maybe someone to help you develop this project.
