Clojure, but without the JVM?

• babashka

  112 3,798 9.2 Clojure

  Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting

  

Babashka: implemented with SCI, compiled to a native binary with GraalVM; quite compatible with the JVM Clojure, things like java.lang.System can be used without requiring a JVM. The corresponding reader conditional is :bb if present, :clj otherwise.

• clojerl

  12 1,633 5.1 Erlang

  Clojure for the Erlang VM (unofficial)

  

Clojerl: an implementation for the Erlang VM. The reader conditional is :clje.

• lumo

  5 1,894 0.0 Clojure

  Discontinued Fast, cross-platform, standalone ClojureScript environment

If you want Clojure without the JVM, there are various packagings of ClojureScript, eg Lumo https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo This requires installing npm which is roughly the same amount of pain as installing Clojure, but whatever works for you.

I really sympathize here, Clojure is such a cool kid. Unfortunately, I did not find a satisfying clojure-like langage, here is a good list of similar or inspired langages : https://github.com/chr15m/awesome-clojure-likes

• lazy-seq

  1 10 0.0 Fennel

  Discontinued Lazy sequences for Fennel and Lua (mirror)

I believe there are more projects than that. I, personally, invest a lot of time into Fennel, as it's very minimal, and Lua runtime is very easy to extend as you like. I've implemented Clojure-like library for lazy sequences, and the cljlib - a library that ports a lot of functions and macros from clojure.core namespace.
