Homoiconic Python

• js-lisp

  1 3 - JavaScript

  Toy lisp-like language interpreter in javascript

I did something along those lines with JS lists: https://github.com/andrelaszlo/js-lisp

• janet

  80 3,338 9.4 C

  A dynamic language and bytecode vm

  

Only tangentially related, but for anyone interested in the idea of a simple, quick Python-like scripting Lisp, there are two Clojure-style languages to look at:

1) Hy (https://hylang.org/, compiles to Python bytecode, usually slower than Python but compatible with all Python libraries)

2) Janet (https://janet-lang.org/, very light Lua-style embeddable VM ~1 Mb, roughly twice as fast as Python for similar ops, very easy C interop)

• hy

  56 4,790 9.2 Python

• CIEL

  16 172 6.6 Common Lisp

  CIEL Is an Extended Lisp. Scripting with batteries included.

  

> quick python-like scripting

since we're at it, why not a batteries-included Common Lisp: https://github.com/ciel-lang/ciel it comes as a binary that starts fast and that includes libraries for mundane tasks.

(for more CL<->Python if anyone's interested: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl?tab=readme-ov-fil...)

• rhombus-prototype

  25 306 9.7 Racket

  Brainstorming and draft proposals for Rhombus

  

• fakelisp

  2 7 - Python

  Lisp as a Python module (don't take it seriously though)

I also played with the same idea some time ago: https://github.com/akalenuk/fakelisp

I ended up using tuples instead of lists for cosmetic purposes :-) My Fakelisp then looks like this:

    from fakelisp import *

• yamlscript

  5 350 9.7 Clojure

  Programming in YAML

  

https://github.com/yaml/yamlscript

yes, exactly what you think it is - here's the whole description, very to-the-point:

> Program in YAML

really needn't say more.

• cl-cookbook

  54 904 8.9 JavaScript

  The Common Lisp Cookbook

  

an actually difficult question! Different persons will absorb different things from articles, and will enjoy different projects as a first encounter. Pointers:

https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ (and see the Emacs or the debugging pages to see what's possible)

see https://www.youtube.com/@CBaggers/playlists and either his introductions to Slime, either his introductions to CEPL to play with graphics interactively,

also for graphics, a new 3D system in development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liaLgaTOpYE

for an overview of how thought through is REPL driven development in CL: https://mikelevins.github.io/posts/2020-12-18-repl-driven/

and, we are lucky (or cursed :] ), there are many more cool articles on the topic.
