Thanks to others for correcting my URL.

Being able to leverage the power of CPAN was one of my reasons for doing it (though I've only just implemented a way of calling perl methods). Plus things like perls great regex support. Since I've started playing with Lisp I've decided I really like it. In particular I think macros are fantastic. It implements common lisp like (defmacro ...). In fact, that is how most of it is implemented.

If you want it to be more common lisp like (2 namespace, and other stuff) you can easily achieve that by redefining (and adding to) some of the core macros. There's a macro (*FCALL*) which is expanded to do ordinary function calls. If you wanted to help trying to get it to be more compatible with common lisp (maybe as a 'compiler personality' or something) that would be cool
