I feel like it needs tags around the literals and symbols, too. <leq><var>n</var><lit>2</lit></leq> :wink:

ALL CAPS WOULD BE MORE READABLE

and don’t use / for end tags, that’s so 2000. Use words in backward, like bif.

DEFINE FIB n IF LEQ n 2 QEL THEN 1 ELSE PLUS FIB MINUS n 2 SUNIM BIF FIB MINUS n 2 SUNIM BIF SULP FI ENIFED

rhombus take notes

Nice! But I was thinking you’d keep the <> anyway :thinking_face:

[DEFINE [FIB <VAR TYPE=fixnum?>n</VAR>] [IF [LEQ <REF>n</REF> <LIT TYPE=fixnum?>2</LIT> QEL] 1 [PLUS [FIB [MINUS <REF>n</REF> <LIT TYPE=fixnum?>1</LIT> SUNIM] BIF] [FIB [MINUS <REF>n</REF> <LIT TYPE=fixnum?>2</LIT> SUNIM] BIF] SULP] FI] ENIFED]

Also macros should be prefixed with __ for clarity, and keywords that can be omitted (due to redundancy) should be marked as such with a **# prefix and a #** suffix

And numbers should be roman numerals for simplicity, obviously!
