  6. Checkout this https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie Clojure-inspired lisp over pypy/jit Performs almost equal C/compiled languages.
  7. There's also https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie - a Clojure flavoured Lisp on top of the PyPy JIT foundation.

  8. …. If you want something light like Clojure and don't need any Java libs, try Pixie. https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie If you want something light not like Clojure, Go is a great choice. It's fast to compile, fast to run and doesn't…

    comment by 616c · 2015-08-01 · in The Magic of RPython
  20. https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie could be worth a look. That said, "add more type hints" hasn't generally been my experience of Clojure. If anything, it tends to be an indication that you've already gone a bit far down the path of…
    comment by dasmoth · 2015-06-11 · in Show HN: Clojure by Example
  21. Pixie https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie has a branch which intends to follow the design of this pycket VM. This will allows true tail calls in a clojure like language. Really exciting. https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie/issues/312

  22. …article? It shows an example (that uses brackets and indeed looks like Clojure/lisp syntax). [1]: https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie
    comment by dorfsmay · 2015-05-06 · in Pixie Pi
  23. …Pixie runs over - RPython - PyPi. (The bracket "thing" is not a Clojure feature, it is lisp) [1]: https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie#features
    comment by aliem · 2015-05-06 · in Pixie Pi
  24. There's a LLVM Clojure dialect called Pixie https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie that has extremely fast startup
    comment by yogthos · 2015-04-22 · in Do Accounting in Clojure and Datomic
  25. Pixie[1] is also worth a look. It's Clojure-like scripting language written in RPython. [1] https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie

    comment by agumonkey · 2015-03-09 · in Pixie: A sweet Clojure-ish language
  27. I recommend taking a look at Pixie https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie
    comment by yogthos · 2015-01-16 · in Why Clojure?
  28. Pixie https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie looks like it should address that nicely.

  34. …agree with this article. I was surprised how fast I was able to implement the guts of pixie ( http://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie ) using RPython I had a repl, with a JIT and a GC done in about 40 hours of work (this is a pet project and…

    comment by DasIch · 2014-10-20 · in Pixie: A small fast, native lisp
  36. …the lisp code into python bytecode, which is pretty neat - sort of like clojure is for the JVM. https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie/blob/master/pixie/vm/com... Perhaps not magical, but I like the effort (though lisp-as-shell has to contend…
