Since its name is TinyLisp, I'd like to mention uLisp.
Lisp for microcontrollers - Arduino, Adafruit M0/M4, Micro:bit, ESP8266/32, RISC-V, and Teensy 4.x boards
http://www.ulisp.com/
In particular, its smallest variant (~800 LoC).
> uLisp Zero is a pared-down version of uLisp, capable of running in 8 Kbytes of program memory with 1 Kbyte of RAM

Why do you need to build them in when you can just load your favorite libraries that do these functions with https://www.quicklisp.org/ , especially for http the great libraries by Fukamachi: https://github.com/fukamachi parallel processing: https://lparallel.org/ etc.
I'm very grateful that common lisp does not version up (like python), but you can always load a new or newer version of libraries with no impact on your core production code. (Such as a rewrite when the language gets a new version - this never happens with Common Lisp)
Anyone have any input on:
https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/
It's been in my bookmarks for a long time but I've never really had time to really start it. The "who is this for" page say:
"This book is for anyone wanting to learn C, or who has once wondered how to build their own programming language.".
Well, I'm fairly competent in C (but not great) but would like to get a glimpse of what it's like to build my own language. Is it worth the time?
If you want to make specifically a Lisp, I'd suggest starting with MAL: https://github.com/kanaka/mal#mal---make-a-lisp
If you want to build a programming language in general, I strongly recommend https://craftinginterpreters.com/
