Top 17 C Lisp Projects
-
tinylisp
Lisp in 99 lines of C and how to write one yourself. Includes 20 Lisp primitives, garbage collection and REPL. Includes tail-call optimized versions for speed and reduced memory use.
-
InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
-
lispe
An implementation of a full fledged Lisp interpreter with Data Structure, Pattern Programming and High level Functions with Lazy Evaluation à la Haskell.
-
WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
-
lispBM
An interpreter for a concurrent lisp-like language with message-passing and pattern-matching implemented in C.
-
lisp
A mini Lisp in 1k lines of C with garbage collector, explained. Includes over 40 built-in Lisp primitives, floating point, strings, closures with lexical scope, macros, proper tail recursion, exceptions, execution tracing, file loading, a mark-sweep/compacting garbage collector and REPL. (by Robert-van-Engelen)
-
scheme-for-pd
Pure Data port of the Scheme For Max external, providing an embedded S7 Scheme/Lisp interpreter for scripting and live-coding Pure Data in Scheme Lisp.
-
lisp-cheney
A mini Lisp in 1k lines of C with Cheney's copying garbage collector, explained. Includes over 40 built-in Lisp primitives, floating point, strings, closures with lexical scope, macros, proper tail recursion, exceptions, execution tracing, file loading, a copying garbage collector and REPL.

Seems like a perfect use-case for Janet. (https://janet-lang.org/) A fast minimal VM like Lua, but even more extensible than Lua by being a "Lisp" with macro and C extension capabilities. Not a true Lisp, it's very pragmatic and performance-oriented. But it keeps the good stuff.
LISP has a very simple and consistent syntax, so much so that a basic interpreter can be done in only 99 lines of C.
Still, my favorite has to be the LISP interpreter written in Conway's Game of Life written in LISP.

I made something somewhat close to that: a freestanding lisp. It targets the Linux kernel directly. No libc.

Project mention: Secd: A silly implementation of the SECD machine | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-05I've actually recently read "FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING: Application and Implementation", by Peter Henderson from 1980, which contains a description of the SECD machine and a compiler for a simple purely-functional Lisp dialect called Lispkit.
This <https://github.com/carld/lispkit> looks like a good repo if you want to know more, although I'm not related to it in any way.
I can't say how it compares the book by Kogge mentioned in this post since I haven't read that, but I can say I think it's an excellent book and worth reading if you're interested in this kind of thing.
