Lisp in JavaScript

[codesiddu]

Loved LISP back in my college days. Still think it is a good language to learn for new programmers.

Anyone still using LISP in prod. Saw a post on Grammarly using it.

I too like the elegance and simplicity of Lisp. I find the uniform syntax of (verb subject arguments...) appealing. But then when I try to use Common Lisp my brain hurts from the thousands of functions and their semantics. Maybe I should have paid more attention to namespaces, etc. Anyway, I find the C-like syntax of JavaScript and its Self-like semantics acceptable. MDN documentation makes the many Web APIs + HTML + CSS accessible.

For me Chrome for the GUI and Deno for the back-end with a sprinkling of WASM and TypeScript is sufficient for most of my projects.

Re: title, WASM is kinda lispy and i expect to see all sorts of languages targetting it Also maybe wouldn't run this in prod (yet), but: https://github.com/EarlGray/elisp.js
