>Would be interesting to see how the interpreter works actually...
It's quite easy to see, there are interpeters for Lisp in like 20 lines or so.
Here's a good one:
https://norvig.com/lispy.html
(It has the full code in a link towards the bottom)
There's also this:
https://github.com/kanaka/mal
If someone invents another browser, Nyxt will be ready to wrap it with Common Lisp: https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt
Project mention: Carp: A statically typed Lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-11
Seems like a perfect use-case for Janet. (https://janet-lang.org/) A fast minimal VM like Lua, but even more extensible than Lua by being a "Lisp" with macro and C extension capabilities. Not a true Lisp, it's very pragmatic and performance-oriented. But it keeps the good stuff.
Project mention: Jak & Daxter PC fanmade port runs like a dream (and also natively) on the Deck | /r/SteamDeck | 2023-06-29Github page
I accidentally a Common Lisp that interoperates with C++ (https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp.git). We would also like to move beyond BDWGC and Whiffle looks interesting. I will reach out to you and maybe we can chat about it.
Both points resonate with me, but I'd push back againt the idea that colored syntax highlighting is neccessary for either. I'm thinking of the Pygments 'bw' theme[1], which denotes strings in italics, and nano-emacs[2], which also manages to do.. a lot with a little (at least aesthetically, ie. idk about code volume or corner cases).

Project mention: KamilaLisp – A functional, flexible and concise Lisp | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-01Hello, a single counter-example I hope https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...

Eh it's not just luajit and luajit didn't create that problem either. It's a symptom of lua actually succeeding at its design goal of being easily embedded as an extension language. A significant number of incompatible runtimes are more popular than the most recent puc lua, including I believe the older official lua 5.2 released in 2011.
I've done a fair bit of professional lua development and I don't think I've ever written standalone up-to-date puc lua except maybe for some tooling & scripts. It's such a small language and used in such a way that the runtime, distribution method, and available APIs have much more impact on your use (and compatibility) than the version.
Virtually everyone shipping a lua environment is also shipping changes to it that make it a unique target, if only extensions to the standard library. This is why I think syntax layer-only approach like fennel's is the correct choice for improving on lua. It mirrors lua's runtime semantics exactly, and allows you to access the implementation peculiars on their own terms and so can just be run on time of any lua system.

Check out smartparens which supports several non-lisp languages including c and js. Learn more here: https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens

There's an effort afoot to bring this to the Clojure world, with the lovely name jank: https://jank-lang.org
Project mention: I programmed a SLY completion backend, it works, but I could use some help fine tuning it. | /r/Common_Lisp | 2023-10-16please someone create a pull request (or issue) on SLY github, to make it available to other SLY users. (I do not wish to have a github account and don't care about the copyright)
Have you ever tried Glisp? IMO it is executed much better than yours because Lisp is a much better suited language. Anyways awesome idea!
Project mention: Gamedev in Lisp. Part 1: ECS and Metalinguistic Abstraction | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-02> the problem with Lisp is that it's sorta bundled with Emacs
What's the problems with Alive, SLT, Slyblime, and Vlime? I mean, I use Emacs, but I was using Emacs before getting into Scheme and CL anyway.
> Every website that teaches Lisp is in ugly HTML+CSS-only style
I dunno, I feel like the Community Spec (<https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/index.html>) and the Cookbook (<https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/>) are fine.
> I like the philosophy of (s-exp) but modern lisps have ruined its simplicity for me by introducing additional bracket notations [like this].
Yes, that additional notation is a terrible blight on the perfection that is S-expressions, I wholeheartedly agree.
