…me some time. I was just debugging why the project I work on (LibHunt) hadn't logged the mention of https://github.com/vygr/ChrysaLisp on this post... the reason being - you've updated the URL after it was submitted.

This is cool, but the code is... strange? https://github.com/vygr/ChrysaLisp/blob/master/gui/canvas/tg... The code doesn’t look like Lisp at all. Is this some sort of lower assembler language that Lisp is implemented on top of?

Quick start to get the GUI going (not so obvious from the README): $ clone https://github.com/vygr/ChrysaLisp.git ChrysaLisp $ cd ChrysaLisp $ sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev $ make -j $ ./run.sh To quit: $ ./stop.sh
