Lisp Interpreter in PHP

[Ramza Brown]

Crazy, I know, but that is my question. Even google let me down:

Anybody know of a lisp interpreter in php?

And, I tried c.l.l. No dice. Even something similar. If you have
worked with lisp, you know what I am talking about. Something to handle
symbols, tags, keywords for example.

Hi Ramza,

I know someone who wrote his own LISP interperter in Smalltalk. He spent
most of his time learning about LISP. And this guy insisted to post his
lisp interpreter - well, from LISP! The actual interpreter was a fairly
small program. I suppose porting from Smalltalk it to php would only
take a few days. But maybe it would be easyer to port a LISP interpreter
that was written in C, C++ or Java, those languages have a syntax very
similar to php, there is no i/o to be done (don't try to port an IDE ;-)
), just add some $ signs and an array() call here and there, maybe
remove some type declarations, replace some structs by classes, quite
straightforward i'd guess.

Greetings,

certain extent replace seaside's use of continuations ;-) )
