Lisp for Lua :p

Website: https://fennel-lang.org

It’s a surprisingly interesting language for what is pretty much just a syntax abstraction over Lua. Though in all fairness, Lua is a surprisingly interesting language itself.

It’s not really homoiconic though, which is sad :( and hurts macros, as you might imagine :(

Homoiconicity is a spectrum, Fennel is definitely on the edge of being a Lisp or not. It also primarily compiles to Lua and lives in that world.

I am currently writing my own Lisp for Lua, not sure what will come of it, but it’s a fun time.
