Clj.rs – a Clojure dialect implemented in Rust

Coming from Ruby, wanting to learn a Lisp, there are so many things in Clojure that make the language much easier for me to understand, compare to other Lisps. Simple things like first/rest vs car/cdr make it much more ergonomic and easy to grok, IMHO.

Yeah I alluded to this in my comment, but I think the dict literals just make for a much easier on ramp for someone familiar with Python or JS (or JSON, which is increasingly unavoidable for even C++ devs like me).

There's first, second... tenth and rest in CL too. My 0.0002c.

The convention is to use car and cdr with cons cell structures that are not lists.
