    Another datapoint - wisp, my favorite LISP-to-JS transpiler, also apparently works fine: https://github.com/wisp-lang/wisp/issues/174

    This makes for a pretty awesome combination considering bun's system calls and sqlite support.

    Sorry but, Wisp already exists, twice! It's Lisp without parentheses:

    and a little Clojure-like LISP in JavaScript:

    The name is already in use by another small Lisp (not particularly well-known, but I've tried it): https://github.com/Gozala/wisp/
