I found one bug: you cannot create a zero argument lambda, e.g. (lambda () 42) will not work. You could also benefit from separate `let' construct, because simulating them with lambdas is a bit painful. Apart from that, it works quite nicely (I was positively surprised you went for lexical scoping), but without macros, you can hardly say it's a Lisp, it's a language with Lispy syntax. |

These two things go together: many lisps have let as a macro that uses lambda internally.

Indeed; that makes for a much more usable language.
