Thanks for building this, I completed the "make a lisp" project, but the parsing stage was greatly simplified so it is nice to have a resource to learn more about the parsing/lexing stage.

Absolutely! S-expression (used in Scheme, Lisp, etc) is a great AST-based syntax to start building an interpreter right away. But for fully ergonomic language you would need a parser for a more complex syntax.
