Are there any competing dialects of Lisp which have deterministic runtime? If people are reimplementing half of Common Lisp, then they are not implementing something that competes with this project because their language is probably turing complete. From the JsonLogic website:

> JsonLogic has no setters, no loops, no functions or gotos. One rule leads to one decision, with no side effects and deterministic computation time.

It's Turing incomplete. Like HTML.

LISP is, on the other hand, a programming language. It's rather famous for it.

Here’s some great instructions on how to use JSON to do just that:

I have been programming for 40+ years and have never ever seen this in practice. And I am the kind of guy who have implemented my own Lisp more than once. Just for fun. However I would never use it in my day job.
