opendylan VS Carp

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. :)

Julia is a Lisp in the same form as Dylan.

Found this page to be a nice intro to the syntax and semantics:

I'm excited about Carp's comprehensive and well documented[1] interoperability with C, which unlocks lots of potential for interfacing with existing libraries.

Tim Dévé has even created a game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance by using Carp's C interoperability; you can play an emulated version online[2].

I tried it out months ago. It has a really limiting REPL if you’re coming from other lisps like Common Lisp or even Clojure. If your bag is interactive development, then that might be a bummer. https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp/blob/master/docs/Manual.md...

The goal is certainly to have a language suitable for "real-time applications" (read games/audio), that's not my area of expertise however so your definition of real-time might not be different than mine.

As it compiles to C, any microcontroller with a compiler that supports something that looks like C can work. I've run Carp code on a GBA (as mentionned somewhere else in the comments), esp32, esp8266, as well as Arduboy & Pygamer via Arduino.

There is some more information about running Carp on embedded platforms in the docs[0].

One last thing I wanted to mention is that Carp is still very much in flux so it might not be the best choice for longterm projects, but if you're interested in playing with the language there is usually always someone to answer questions on the Gitter[1].

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.

Carp lang

So, there are some variant Lisps that try to do this -- the one that comes to mind is Carp.

Carp is a statically typed Clojure-like language written in Haskell.
