    The Clojure programming language

    >Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. [0]

    Neither the Clojure page, nor its users seem to agree with you.

    [0] https://clojure.org/

  12. factor

    Factor programming language

    > Dr. Mark Tarver — twice-quoted, above — wrote a dialect of Lisp called Qi. It is less than ten thousand lines of macros running atop Clisp. It implements most of the unique features of Haskell and OCaml. In some respects, Qi surpasses them. For instance, Qi's type inferencing engine is Turing complete. In a world where teams of talented academics were needed to write Haskell, one man, Dr. Tarver wrote Qi all by his lonesome.

    Check out https://github.com/factor/factor. Check out how much stuff they have implemented early on, just 2-4 guys tops. I found it really impressive.
