Nope. It still can be an atom. Only if it's a pair (i.e. a cons with two cells, not just one) it prints the next.

Even if that were possible (and with this codebase, I don't think it is), I don't see any code in this function that would print the atom in such a case. It seems like it would just print nothing.

Look harder, it does. There are only cons (pair) and atoms.

The author just confirmed, the if-statement does nothing: https://github.com/carld/micro-lisp/issues/9

Can you give me an example program that, when fed as input, would cause this if-statement to evaluate to false?
