  Do we want to call it mature or abandoned?
  > TXR is relatively new: the project started in 2009.

    Thank you for TXR

    No offense intended, and I don't even mean to suggest that projects or docs cannot or should not be "finished". Finished is great, maintenance is great. I would however suggest a docs update if it says "new" where it means ~20 years ago since that is confusing.

I think this was created by kazinator who has posed a fair amount about lisp here over the years.

Could be interesting to port as a Racket #lang
