    Lua Lisp Language

  • While not strictly a lisp, but an exo-lisp, I find Fennel very readable. Lua itself is very readable, and Fennel doesn't change much from Lua, only allowing kebab case and additional symbols in the names, that Lua doesn't allow. Its syntax is inspired by Clojure, not because it tries to be cool, but because it suits the Lua runtime it is running on pretty well.

  • 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.
