How does Mulisp know how to print an arbitrary Lisp-style macro in Algol style?

Obviously such Algol program produces Lisp-code and looks incomprehensible.
But when Mulisp finally conquers the world, we can make backquote-style macro for Algol, where special characters indicate that following stuff needs to evaluated and inserted to the code.

That will be never. If Mulisp hasn't done so in the last 46 years, it never will.

I asked an LLM and it suggested humor is forbidden here on English days ending in "y" because of Poe's law. This is why we can't we have nice things.

I don’t know, but I found the muLISP/muSTAR-80 Artificial Intelligence Development System Reference Manual on the Wayback Machine.
