Falsetto - A systems level lisp [WIP]

A strongly-typed Lisp that compiles down to C

Why?

I decided to start working on this project as I love the simplicity and low level nature of C, however the lack of powerful macros and the at times confusing syntax often gets in the way of productivity.

NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT USABLE YET!!

It has yet to even come close to the feature set that would be required to implement even the most trivial of applications.

Building

You will need Meson, Ninja and either GCC or Clang. To install these on Alpine Linux:

apk add meson gcc # replace with clang if you prefer

Goals

At the moment, the only goal is to become self hosting, and everything added to the project is workign towards that goal.
