Don't forget Jolt! It's clojure built on top of Chez Scheme, which is super cool.

I'm also working on Jolt which uses Chez Scheme as the compiler. https://jolt-lang.github.io

I've already got enough of JVM compatibility to run Ring apps, and have some fun libraries like a Reagent style library on top of GTK https://yogthos.net/posts/2026-07-02-jolt.html
