    Reviving the language that brought us the Jak & Daxter Series

  • The decompiler code is written in C++ [0], because you have to start with something.

  • Abuse_1996

    SDL2 port of Abuse by Crack dot Com

  • Abuse, a 1996 PC side scrolling shooter, had a good chunk of it written in lisp.

  • 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.

  • zork

    Source code for a 1977 version of Zork

  • Zork ZIL was pretty Lispy (example at [1]). Whether it qualifies as "a Lisp" depends on your definition.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • Nice to see this has an advertised Nix build!

    I hope to return to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/72366 at some point, so all arches can be built similarly!

  • Fennel

    Lua Lisp Language

  • So, it's not GOAL, but I've been starting to work with https://fennel-lang.org and Love2d, and there's a twice-yearly Lisp Game jam that happens.

    I've found that I like Fennel (and Janet as well, both created by the same author, though they have different maintainers) quite a bit. Turns out that having simple semantics and a very regular syntax makes for a language that makes writing basic code feel nice.
