Symta is a list-processing Lisp dialect inspired by REFAL, POP-11, and MIT PLANNER, designed for extreme conciseness. It bundles forward/backward pattern matching, macros, classic OOP and ECS, and a C FFI in one tight syntax. A self-hosted compiler emits AOT bytecode for a small generational-GC runtime on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
