Assuming the developer is competent in their language of choice should rule out anyone who can't write a Lisp parser in their language of choice.
I didn’t write a s-expr parser for the minischeme interpreter I like to play around with but I did use re2c/lemon to generate a parser. Then I got Unicode working…
Couldn’t even imagine what it would take to hand write a lexer that does Unicode properly, even the scheme string and char functions call into generated functions (and a library for utf8 strings) since that stuff is complex.
Also don’t know what tribe 3 is, one of those things the cool kids talk about?

If you're not undertaking this to learn how to write a Lisp, which includes writing a parser, what's the point? Get this tribe 3 shit out of here...
