Julia, perhaps? Although calling it popular is a stretch maybe. Its multiple dispatch system is even more ingrained to the language than CLOS (all functions are generic by default). It's very much a Lisp in Matlab's clothing.

... ish? There's a lot of furniture that's bolted into Julia's runtime in terms of task management and so on, that isn't really like a Lisp runtime? It doesn't have that same "It's Turtles All the Way Down" self-consistent vibe that a Lisp has. On paper Julia looks like a great piece of kit. Once I worked in it professionally for a couple months, it started to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
