Nu is Lisp, but it is intended for people who are not Lisp programmers. Nu is still a full Lisp, but it is for programming in Objective-C.

The power of using Nu is being able to drop slower interpreted Nu code down to Objective-C or C or assembler as needed. If you program in Nu as though it is Lisp, it will be difficult to convert your Lisp code to Objective-C code. Much as you would write in Objective-C as much as possible and drop to C where needed... you write in Nu much like Objective-C, and push up where needed.

So if you need Lisp macros, you have them. If you need lambda and closures, you have them. If you need an interpreter, a console, a debugger, you have all of that too. The purpose of Nu is "C over lambda", and the style of Nu is to program in Objective-C and use the features and power of Lisp where needed. Out of the range of Lisp features, what are the ones that matter the most to the Nu programmer?
