Another really interesting Lisp that I recently came across: https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp

PSA: glojure maintenance has moved here: https://github.com/gloathub/glojure Worth changing the submit URL to this one? Edit: never mind. Spoke too soon. Ingy is keeping gloathub/glojure fork and glojurelang/glojure source at parity.

Thats pretty sweet. How does the repl work? Does it compile to Go, then execute? Or does it ship with a full vm? Most go repls are really slow because they need to compile/execute (they fake the "e" part in repl). Its a niche case, but could enable some fun projects.

There’s also typed fp on Go: https://lisette.run/ The Go runtime, toolchain, and ecosystem are great- it makes sense to target it.

I believe this is the most promising Clojure hosted on Go, as their has been a few recently, this is the only one with full proper interop.

dialects are IMO the most exciting thing about clojure. they are making progress quickly and reaching parity.
