It is not too late :) For meta-programming support, LISP-like syntax is definitely on my mind.
At this point, I want to first finish designing and implementing some ML-like (ML-inspired) syntax for ATS. I am getting there :) Once this ML-like syntax is done, it can readily serve as the basis for a design of LISP-like syntax for ATS. Cheers!
