Does this task need a better description of what is needed. Is it maybe too language specific? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 08:44, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

(A second, and surprisingly modest, related task might be to implement a Lisp evaluator within the Lisp kernel :-) See http://www.paulgraham.com/rootsoflisp.html )
