Implementing a lisp in the type system would be fun, that's originally what this project was about until I got distracted with macros. Awesome projects like fortraith (https://github.com/Ashymad/fortraith) already exist, and even far more useful projects like dimensioned (compile time dimensional analysis using type level numbers) are inspiring. These examples, although cool, are probably a worse sign for krick for Rust compared with macro_rules being Turing complete.
