Re: Lisp syntax vs. Mathematica syntax

Here's my puny attempt at a Lisp conversion that only works for
single-argument functions:

Your macro is wrong, here is a corrected version and a multi-arg
version

(defmacro mapply (f (g arg))
  (declare (ignore g))
  `(,f ,arg))

(defmacro mapply (f (g &rest args))
  (declare (ignore g))
  `(,f ,@args))
