maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't this roughly how iterators work in lua? each time the for loop needs a new value the closure that the iterator function returned is evaluated again. lua.org/pil/7.1.html
Though not LISP-y, you may like some things coming up next in ual.
This is ongoing design work, not implemented yet, and some syntax may look different when it's finally implemented, but even in this interim state it may hopefully offer some food for thought.
!! that's excellent ref for me, thanks. I'm only just starting to poke at this myself, I have a rough plan of where I want to go, but I'm not 100% clear on how I'm going to go about it. wiki.xxiivv.com/site/bagel

If I'm ever able to help even a little, that will be excellent.
