Maybe the author is interested in the following proposal:

Anyhow - I do like the idea very much. It seems to me that it enables any solo developer to incorporate the entire jvm ecosystem. At a first glance the proposed syntax appears cumberstone, but I do not grasp everything. Do not use Clojure or CL, but Scheme.

This project has the best possible name for a port of Clojure.

From the FAQ:

Huh. First thing that came to my mind would be to try just using clojure from within ABCL: https://www.cliki.net/ABCL

But that doesn't help if you don't want to target the JVM.

Well now I have an excuse to write some Clojure.
