Alright, now I am intrigued.  How much work would it be to create a
Ruby Lisp-like parser?

class Risp
  def Risp.eval(code)  # code should be an array!
    # What happens here?  We need to create a string to be eval'ed.  As
    # the string is created, if we find an array jump in to eval that first.
    #  -- We need a macro type that would change the format of what is being
    # parsed.
    #  -- We'd need to decide how to handle objects since methods are not
    # members in Lisp.  Maybe make the first parameter always be the self so
    # [x, y, z] becomes y.x(z)
    #
    # What a totally pointless, but entertaining exercise.  :)
    # I don't think it could go anywhere.  :(
  end
end
