Phel v0.36.0 – Lisp on PHP, now with numeric tower and first-class Vars

I've been following this project for a while, congratulations on the release!

Even though I don't have much use for PHP at the moment, I wish it finds a niche in the market and becomes widely used. Good luck!

Great work on this release! Glad to see the dot-separated namespace syntax being standardized in the core.

Phel compiles a Clojure-flavoured Lisp to PHP. v0.36.0 ships exact rationals (1/2 literals), arbitrary-precision BigInteger with overflow auto-promotion, BigDecimal, first-class Vars (#'sym, alter-var-root, with-redefs, watches), and new value types (UUID, Queue, MapEntry). Plus REPL and test boot are notably faster.

It would be great if the Phel repl could connect to a running PHP process

"inspired by clojure" - is there a better signal for good taste and quality?
