About:

This is my 4th run at this Lisp concept, with tracing JIT compilation to make fexprs fast forming the core of my current PhD research. (tiny personal PhD website here)

Vau/Kernel as simple core:

By constructing our core language on a very simple Vau/Kernel base, we can keep the base truely tiny, and build up normal Lisp functions and programming language features in the language itself. This should help implement other programming languages concisely, and will hopefully make optimization easier and more broadly applicable.
