Do people here still use it in their code?i always do
... It's a hard function to search for help on for obvious reasons ;-)
I've got small interesting observation from your question,
function converts any literal value into a symbol type, and any lambda function into a LIST type -
If you must learn Java or C# :smitten:, then you can try this newcode.txt, for teaching Csyntax, gramarlyC++,whole C+=source.
You can convert this newcode.txt to 100%Vlisp.

Do not waste your-time with lambda, because the function+lambda not exists
in Java or JavaScript.?!
Do not waste your-time with lambdai've been doing lisp for quite a while and i must say that it covers 99% of my needs
_$ a
(LAMBDA (X) (* X X))
_$ b

_$ d

_$ (benchmark '((apply a '(2)) (apply b '(2)) (apply 'c '(2)) (apply 'd '(2))))
Benchmarking ...................Elapsed milliseconds / relative speed for 65536 iteration(s):
(APPLY B (QUOTE (2))).............1656 / 1.93 <fastest>
(APPLY (QUOTE C) (QUOTE (2))).....1688 / 1.90
(APPLY A (QUOTE (2))).............2969 / 1.08
(APPLY (QUOTE D) (QUOTE (2))).....3203 / 1.00 <slowest>
I wonder how many times benchmark has been run over the years.
