Rye Language
A similar language is Joker (https://github.com/candid82/joker), Go based, Clojure syntax. I've been using it for years as a general purpose scripting language and Clojure code linter and formatter - it's exceptional.
It doesn't integrate non-Joker Go code as far as I know.

Are there smaller Clojure-esque Lisps available ?
There’s also joker. Haven’t used it but I’ve known about it for a while. Bills itself as a Clojure-like built with Go.

Clojure Scripting on Node.js
Is this similar to Lumo (https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo)? I would assume Lumo has a faster start time since it boots from a V8 snapshot, but otherwise I'd assume the two projects are similar (except that, of course, lumo is EOL)

Clojure, but without the JVM?
Lumo: a standalone ClojureScript environment, runs on Node.js. Doesn't seem to have its own reader conditional, uses :cljs.

Racket v8.0 is out!
Lumo and Planck (standalone Clojurescript environments, based on Node and on JavaScriptCore with some additional functionality to make it suitable for scripting, respectively), and Clojerl (Clojure implemented on BEAM). Startup times are comparable to e.g. Racket.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing joker and lumo you can also consider the following projects:
babashka - Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting
etaoin - Pure Clojure Webdriver protocol implementation
janet - A dynamic language and bytecode vm
planck - Stand-alone ClojureScript REPL
graalvm-clojure - This project contains a set of "hello world" projects to verify which Clojure libraries do actually compile and produce native images under GraalVM.
