Pixie (1) is a Clojure-like language that is written in rpython and is run via pypy (python jit), the advantages being fast startups (Clojure compile some libraries on startup which doesn't make it very suitable for writing CLI). This particular article is about running Pixie on the Raspberry Pi, check the Pixie language page to learn more about Pixie itself.
Pixie does not require the JVM.

Have you looked at the article? It shows an example (that uses brackets and indeed looks like Clojure/lisp syntax).
