Why Zylisp?

The Zylisp project addresses a genuine gap in the language landscape:

If you want Lisp's power, you typically sacrifice:

• Static typing and tooling
• Mainstream ecosystem access
• Predictable performance

If you want Go's practicality, you sacrifice:

• Metaprogramming capabilities
• REPL-driven development
• Immutability by default

Zylisp provides both:

• Lisp's macros, homoiconicity, and interactive development
• Go's types, concurrency, performance, and ecosystem
• Modern features like pattern matching and persistent data structures
• Production-ready fault tolerance through supervision trees

It's designed for developers who want to build robust, concurrent systems with the productivity of Lisp and the reliability of Go.
