This looks really interesting. Can it be used to write procedural macros for rust code somehow, or is that not one of the goals of the project?

You could in theory by standardizing a mapping from S-Expressions to Rust tokens of course, but no it's not a goal for the project.

I know you're looking for feedback on the API, but do you have a SPAIK language reference?

The API matters little to me if I'm not interested in the SPAIK language in the first place.

Ya, the language itself is not very well documented. But it's mostly Common LISP like, though a LISP-1 like Scheme, which is the biggest deviation from Common LISP.

You can take a look at core.lisp and html.lisp in the lisp/ directory, as well as the test cases for example code in test/.

Could you elaborate what is similar to Common Lisp in Spaik?
