gollark: I mean, I mentioned recursive descent parsing on APIONET beforehand, it's approximately in my overly-onelinery and bad-variable-namey style, it's a technically working lisp but weird and broken in a few ways (negative number parsing!), I think some of the comments are vaguely inaccurate or at least not how someone more experienced with lisps would describe things, and the thing ignored Python idioms a fair bit.
