I understand your point, but IMHO for most  code users write,  they
don't need to eval code at runtime (which all script languages I know
can do BTW)

I have not doubt that it is a castration of LISP's possibilities to
allow  users to write

   function( [1,2,3], {k=>v})

which is then translated to

   (function '(1 2 3) (k . v) )

before compilation.

IMHO this plus some flow control already covers everything most users
ever want.
