C-Lisp Implementations for microcontrollers?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/lisp

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ulisp

    A version of the Lisp programming language for ATmega-based Arduino boards.

    There's ulisp

  • urn

    Yet another Lisp variant which compiles to Lua

    Also, if the microcontroller you're working with is an ESP32 chip, you may be able to use use one of the lisp-to-Lua transpiled languages (urn or fennel) with something like Lua RTOS or NodeMCU. Not entirely sure how well this works in practice, but in theory it should be possible. Of the two, Fennel's probably more likely to behave well when used like this because it's more like a thin translation layer on top of Lua, but Urn's probably going to feel more comfortable to use because it feels like this weird mix of CL and Racket design.

  • 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.

  • Fennel

    Lua Lisp Language

  • esprit

    ClojureScript on the ESP32 using Espruino

    espirit is cljs for esp32 as well.
