I suggest to have a look at CIEL: https://github.com/ciel-lang/CIEL/

-> CL, with batteries out of the box: http, json, csv, DB, functional data structures, regexp, pattern matching, missing docstrings, missing functions, easy script runner…

and to Epsilon: https://github.com/jbouwman/epsilon/

> Epsilon is a Lisp programming environment built using SBCL that provides functional data structures and some encoding, cryptographic hashing and network programming capabilities.
