Bio – experimental Lisp dialect, written in Zig

Putting closing parentheses on their own lines is extremely cursed.

I used to like Lisp-1s when I used Scheme, but having used Common Lisp for a while I've come to appreciate Lisp-2s, if only for silly things like...

  (defun foo (list)
    (declare (type List list))
    (assert (> (length list) 1))
    (list (second list)
          (first list)))

Everything else aside it seems like a nice finger exercise for learning Zig.

Bio dev here, time to create a HN account I guess. Got a nod that someone posted about it here, which I would prefer to happen a few years from now given the early stage, but hey what can you do :)

I 100% agree with formatting and I've started fixing it, the leftovers were from some (misguided) experimenting.
