Besides this and jank, there is also Janet; playing in the league of Lisp to standalone binaries. It’s also cool!

I spent a couple of days digging in to Janet and what surprised me was how even though at a surface level it resembles Clojure, under the hood its actually quite radically different.

It has a lot of very interesting ideas going on, though ultimately i didnt end up using it (i need my persistent datastructures and seq col abstractions)

It feels very minimal and scheme-y and very different from anything ive used before. Definitely worth exploring
