LISP 1.5 is to all Lisp dialects as Beowulf is to Emglish literature.
## What this is
A work-in-progress towards an implementation of Lisp 1.5 in Clojure.
## BUT WHY?!!?!
Because.
Because Lisp is the only computer language worth learning, and if a thing is worth learning, it's worth learning properly; which means going back to the beginning and trying to understand that.
Because there is, so far as I know, no working implementation of Lisp 1.5 for modern machines.
Because I'm barking mad, and this is therapy.
