Resurrection of the same concept as the defunct LispIn:

People have been trying, on and off, to fix Lisp with different syntax since at least the early 1970's.

I'm of course thinking of CGOL [1973]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CGOL

Lisp is still here; CGOL, for all intents and purposes, isn't.

Originally Lisp was suppossed to have a different syntax. See the McCarthy papers on early Lisp.

The LISP2 project was a huge effort during the 60s to define a successor to LISP1, including a conventional syntax.
