I checked out Janet and it is pretty cool. However, if your goal is to learn a lisp, Janet isn't the best option. Janet looks lispy, but it really deviates from both core lisp and clojure conceptually. To me, the biggest benefit of learning a lisp variant is in the concept, not the parens. Scheme is probably the most beautiful, clojure the most fun, and common lisp the most standard. Racket is very close to scheme, has good libs, and feels modern. I cut my teeth on 'The Little Schemer' book, and found it super enjoyable. Good luck!
