Is the name a pun on LFO (low frequency oscillator)?
More than likely along the same lines as Lisp Flavored Erlang - http://lfe.io

#12It looks similar to the oden language.

#13So basically the crux of this is 100 lines of a macro[0]. Am I reading this right? https://bitbucket.org/ktg/lfgo/src/a7f71aec7d29d00100f2d21c2...
...and half of those are comments, no? (ie. the ones starting with a ';')

And Gisp.

#15As an aside, seeing more bitbucket hosted libraries on HN lately. This is a good thing. I am a fan of the github product, but I am bigger fan of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

#17Oh god. They basically just took Go and added unnecessary parenthesis. This is the worst way to make Go LISP-like.

What's the best way to make Go more LISP-like?

#19I wish there were actual examples doing some I/O or http server where error handling comes into picture (which IMO the primary thing that messes up the Go code syntactically by repeating the "if err != nil {" block).

In my opinion, people who complain about Lisp's parentheses are usually the ones that have absolutely no idea about Lisp, nor have they any experience with it. Once you get "into" Lisp, you do not see it as a bunch of parentheses anymore, so focusing on this aspect suggests that the person who does it, does not really have much previous experience with Lisp.
