dale VS opendylan

There's Dale, Extempore (more particularly, XTlang which is the statically-typed part of Extempore), Carp, and one more that I can't remember right now that basically maps to C++, more-or-less directly.

>However, there are LISP flavored versions of C

For anyone interested the example given is from https://github.com/tomhrr/dale

Dale: Basically C, but using Lisp syntax, support for macros, which might segfault, not beginner friendly at all.

Carp, Lux and Dale are 3 I'm familiar with.There's also Dylan, though that one dropped its parentheses. But if we go by the brackets, technically, we can argue that any expression-based languages is a Lisp. I once wrote a Lisp to JS transpile whose output had more parens than the input. :)

Yes those were inspired by deuce, here is open dylan's version: https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/tree/master/sources/...

Dylan, which was originally created by Apple: https://opendylan.org/

OpenDylan kept being developed for a long time even after Apple lost interest, and they still do releases every once in a blue moon, but the community is tiny, and nobody is doing anything with Dylan (save for the compiler itself).

what is this fairly close resemblance? Parentheses?

There are a bunch of Lisp like languages without s-expression syntax: Lisp 2, Logo, MDL, RLISP, CLISP (not the CL implementation), Dylan, Racket with its new syntax (Racket2, Rhombus), Skill, ...

For example Dylan is based on Scheme & CLOS + a different syntax + some other influences. https://opendylan.org

If they go with another language, it had damn well better be Dylan. Apple already designed it and screwed up when they abandoned it back then (circa Java).
