    Community-managed fork of the Arc dialect of Lisp; for commit privileges submit a pull request.

    IMO, Arc language is a great example of the philosophy of Lisp. Originally built out of macros running on Scheme, the fact that you can build a language as expressive as Arc just using several hundred lines of Scheme macros (and a few actual functions) shows just how adaptable Lisp really is. Even if Lisp isn't your ideal language, your ideal language is probably not more than a few hundreds of Lisp (unless it's some byzantine language like JavaScript or Haskell).
