Cool! That is a great offer. If you watch my progress SITREPs at [0] you'll get a feel for when it might ready. I'm behind on the SITREP updates but I'm in fact just debugging macro expansion (step 8) at the moment.

Yes, I'm sorry. It was meant as an answer to 'Incidentally, I've been wondering what app I should write to test my Lisp.'
My bad! And I can't even claim not to be a native-English speaker.

It is a good idea and in fact I'm already sort of going down that route. I'm finding that using macros to define new functionality (rather than extend the core set of built-in functions) is a good way to tease out implementation issues as they somewhat stress the underlying mechanisms.

I think my first lib functions will be IO-related.
