Tried to love Clojure, but found it to opinionated as a daily driver for me. Sometimes I just need to get some code running to see a result, which is my main use case for Lisp. I used to default to Common Lisp, but it needs a lot of scaffolding to become ergonomic, and even then it has too many quirks to be really enjoyable for me. So I started designing my own: https://github.com/codr7/eli https://github.com/codr7/eli
