    Neat! Nicely done.

    fwiw, I wrote a Lisp in Python whose sexprs ended up looking similar: https://github.com/shawwn/pymen

    That’s the runtime for it, which is self hosted, so it supports that dot syntax but doesn’t actually use it in its own code. (If you add a new feature like dot syntax to a self hosted lisp, then you start using the feature, and later decide it was a bad idea, it becomes incredibly difficult to revert — So the compiler sticks to a minimal subset.

    But it can run code almost exactly as you’ve written, minus the backslashes. It also has:
