I love the idea! The creativity of (ab)using JavaScript type coersion is really neat. I did something similar using proxies to create a chainable API.

https://dev.to/sethcalebweeks/fluent-api-for-piping-standalo...

  const shuffle = (arr) => arr.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
  const zipWith = (a, b, fn) => a.slice(0, Math.min(a.length, b.length)).map((x, i) => fn(x, b[i]));
  const log = (arr) => {
    console.log(arr);
    return arr;
  };

  const chain = chainWith({shuffle, zipWith, log});

  chain([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
    .map((i) => i + 10)
    .log() // [ 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 ]
    .shuffle()
    .log() // e.g. [ 16, 15, 11, 19, 12, 13, 18, 14, 17 ]
    .zipWith(["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"], (a, b) => a + b)
    .log() // e.g. [ '16a', '15b', '11c', '19d', '12e' ]
    [0]; // e.g. '16a'

Any tips for an English speaker trying to learn Cebuano? It's demoralizing making an attempt using some online resources, and then finding out that they don't actually say it that way because of regional or even generational differences.
The term "self-hosted" is an interesting choice. It's usually used to describe the compiler of a programming language written in that same programming language. This is an IDE written in JavaScript. Cool project, though!
Keyword lists were certainly confusing as a newcomer. But, FWIW, they existed well before maps. The AST is made up of only tuples and keyword lists on top of atoms and other literals. (Actually, if I'm not mistaken, keyword lists themselves are just lists with tuples of atom/value pairs. If you dig far enough down, it's incredible just how much of the language is built on top of a tiny number of primitives. Almost every bit of syntax you can think of is probably several layers of macros.)

Ironic that Lisp is Polish Notation

I migrated from Jekyll to Astro a few weeks ago. It only took me a few hours to replicate the site, more or less. Here's the website and the post about the experience.
