I started thinking that Lisps are great for embedding other languages and creating DSLs, so I was thinking it would be great to create a shell script DSL in addition...

I think it would be a good idea to develop a benchmark suite for various parts of the system. For example, I keenly watch the startup time as `basilisp.core` grows...

Right now, all multi-arity function calls dispatch to the correct arity at runtime. In a tight loop sitaution, it might be nice to compile a direct call to the proper...

`tools.analyzer.jvm` and `tools.analyzer.js` nodes include `:tag` keywords with types for most types of nodes, which can help with emitting useful warnings and potentially annotating functions and arguments with return types.
