Show HN: Lambdaway
I am working on this project, http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/, and would be happy to get your opinion back.
Thanks a lot.

If I understand well, it seems that you wrote some kind of lisp dialect with the following particularities (some of my observations might be wrong, so please correct them):
- it's somehow executed in javascript, so when I load in page with lambdaway code in it, js executes the code and the output is displayed on the page
- braces are replacing parenthesis
- you allow unicode variables (like \Phi)
- by default, an expression is a string, unless it's preceded by a colon (my first opinion is that it's not the best and it would be better to use the quotes for the strings like other languages do, but I can be wrong)
I happen to be writing at the moment a blog post (it's not finished yet, but here is the beginning: http://eskatrem.github.io/Newton-Raphson ) that uses some mathematical symbols - it will also talk about lisp by the way. I guess it's something that could be - better? - done with lambdway?
Welcome in the {lambda way} project, a workshop built as
a thin overlay on top of any modern web browser, and
devoted to writing, composing and coding on the web, where
the markup, styling and scripting are unified in a single
language, {lambda talk}.“Your requested URL has been blocked as per the directions received from Department of Telecommunications, Government of India. Please contact administrator for more information.”
