And some implementations in:

- Python: https://github.com/mario-goulart/not-the-whole-truth

- Javascript: https://kybernetikos.github.io/Javathcript/

For practical (mature, usable in production) implementations i'd recommend:

in C: ECL compiles Common Lisp down to C or allows it to be embedded in a C program

Python: "Hy" allows to write Python with lisp syntax

Javascript: Parenscript compiles a Common Lisp subset to javascript. Clojurescript compiles a Clojure subset to javascript.

I spent a whole evening last week playing with Hy Lisp (written in Python). It was fairly easy to write to the Keira’s APIs. Can anyone share any interesting HyLang uses/ applications?
