• janet

  85 3,563 9.4 C

  A dynamic language and bytecode vm

  

  Only tangentially related, but for anyone interested in the idea of a simple, quick Python-like scripting Lisp, there are two Clojure-style languages to look at:

  1) Hy (https://hylang.org/, compiles to Python bytecode, usually slower than Python but compatible with all Python libraries)

  2) Janet (https://janet-lang.org/, very light Lua-style embeddable VM ~1 Mb, roughly twice as fast as Python for similar ops, very easy C interop)

• hy

  64 5,142 9.0 Python

  A dialect of Lisp that's embedded in Python

  > quick python-like scripting

  since we're at it, why not a batteries-included Common Lisp: https://github.com/ciel-lang/ciel it comes as a binary that starts fast and that includes libraries for mundane tasks.

  32 353 9.7 Racket

• fakelisp

  2 8 2.2 Python

  Lisp as a Python module (don't take it seriously though)

  I also played with the same idea some time ago: https://github.com/akalenuk/fakelisp

  I ended up using tuples instead of lists for cosmetic purposes :-) My Fakelisp then looks like this:

      from fakelisp import *

• yamlscript

  5 409 9.8 Clojure

  Programming in YAML

  

  https://github.com/yaml/yamlscript

  yes, exactly what you think it is - here's the whole description, very to-the-point:

  > Program in YAML

  really needn't say more.

• cl-cookbook

  58 934 8.9 JavaScript

  The Common Lisp Cookbook

  

  an actually difficult question! Different persons will absorb different things from articles, and will enjoy different projects as a first encounter. Pointers:

  https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ (and see the Emacs or the debugging pages to see what's possible)

  see https://www.youtube.com/@CBaggers/playlists and either his introductions to Slime, either his introductions to CEPL to play with graphics interactively,

  also for graphics, a new 3D system in development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liaLgaTOpYE

  for an overview of how thought through is REPL driven development in CL: https://mikelevins.github.io/posts/2020-12-18-repl-driven/

  and, we are lucky (or cursed :] ), there are many more cool articles on the topic.
