Lua to Lisp - is Lua just sugared Lisp?

1. RE-flex

   1 3 565 7.0 C++

   Yet another high-performance C++ regex library and lexical analyzer generator like Flex: extends Flex++ with Unicode support, indent/dedent anchors, lazy quantifiers, functions for lex and syntax error reporting and more. Seamlessly integrates with Bison and other parsers. (by Genivia)

   

   A Lua-to-Lisp transpiler written in Bison and RE/flex (a modern alternative to Flex for C++.) The transpiler translates Lua language constructs to Lisp. Dare I say that Lua is essentially sugared Lisp? A quote by Paul Graham comes to mind "As computers have grown more powerful, the new languages being developed have been moving steadily toward the Lisp model."

2. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

   

3. lua-to-lisp

   2 1 23 2.1 C++

   A lightweight Lua to Lisp transpiler. Translates Lua 5.3 code to a Lisp dialect.

   

   The translation rules are posed in the README of the project along with the Bison grammar and source code files: https://github.com/Robert-van-Engelen/lua-to-lisp

4. Fennel
