  • opendylan

    Open Dylan compiler and IDE

  • Dylan, which was originally created by Apple: https://opendylan.org/

  • ergolib

    A library designed to make programming in Common Lisp easier

  • I have a macro in my personal library called BINDING-BLOCK that eliminates many though not all of the parens in common code idioms:

    https://github.com/rongarret/ergolib/blob/master/core/bindin...

    But like many of the sibling comments say, if you think getting rid of the parens entirely is desirable then you have missed the point, which is that Lisp code is not text, it's a data structure, a linked list, and the best way of serializing a linked list is with delimiters a the start and end, like so:

  • Carp

    A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications.

  • Not CL, but there is ulisp (http://www.ulisp.com/) for microcontrollers, supposed to be really tiny, and there is Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) which is without a GC so seems suitable for real-time stuff.

  • ulisp

    A version of the Lisp programming language for ATmega-based Arduino boards.

  • Not CL, but there is ulisp (http://www.ulisp.com/) for microcontrollers, supposed to be really tiny, and there is Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) which is without a GC so seems suitable for real-time stuff.

  • LispREPL.jl

    REPL for LispSyntax.jl

  • I'm assuming OP was considering Julia as a pseudo-lisp. Julia doesn't look at all like a Lisp from the outside (no S-exprs except with (https://github.com/swadey/LispREPL.jl) but it takes many of Lisp's deeper lessons. It's (somewhat) homoiconic (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31733766/in-what-sense-a...), has an AST based macro system, and is an expression based language (no statements, everything returns a value), and has first class functions and types. Also multiple dispatch comes from taking CLOS/Dylan and getting rid of some of the parts that make a compiler writer hate you.
