    Arguably Pacman Clone - it uses WISP (non s-exps syntax for any lisp) + C-Mera which is some kind of mix of C and CL, and is written mostly in CL.

    c-mera does exist.

    Thanks, you're right. I chose JS because it is so well-known, but I think it does have some other advantages as well. For example, if you need to run a lot of compatibility test commands, or need to generate code via external programs, or even make network requests to get config values or something, you can do all of that in parallel with JS async instead of sequentially like configure. You might find https://github.com/kiselgra/c-mera interesting. It's similar to this project but uses Lisp and a unified syntax.

    I used https://github.com/kiselgra/c-mera for this purpose and it worked very well.

    That's a Lisp preprocessor for a non-Lisp language.

    If you program in C using the Common Lisp c-mera preprocessor, or any of the other similar systems, it's the same thing.

    You're writing everything in S-exps, and the expansions use conses, but the output is C; so that of course cannot call cons at run time.

    even more interesting are the handful of projects layering lisp style macros on top of C. i've seen several go by over the years; a quick google search brought up c-mera and cmacro.
