  1. Another datapoint - wisp, my favorite LISP-to-JS transpiler, also apparently works fine: https://github.com/wisp-lang/wisp/issues/174 This makes for a pretty awesome combination considering bun's system calls and sqlite support.

  2. Me, I’d much rather revive wisp ( https://github.com/wisp-lang/wisp ), but the author does have quite a few points — Google Closure is the main reason why I stopped using CLJS…

  5. This reminds me a lot of wisp ( https://github.com/Gozala/wisp ), which I particularly liked. I wish these things had more traction, given JavaScript’s ubiquity but tendency for rather convoluted embellishments.

  9. Sorry, off topic, but aww, I was hoping for some new public exposure for wisp, the Javascript Lisp: https://github.com/Gozala/wisp Such a cute language but I still have not used in anything other than some toy projects :( –– Anyway, is…

  11. Personally, I find https://github.com/Gozala/wisp to be a whole lot more coherent and readable (and probably more mature, too, even though it has much less documentation). wisp also generates very nice JS code (and source maps), and my…

  14. …language, it will be something with a cohesive design as a language (like Clojure or Wisp https://github.com/Gozala/wisp ) instead of Coffee's grab bag of gee whiz.

  15. Best way I know of using macros in JS is https://github.com/Gozala/wisp , which generates pretty readable code. If you're going to pre-process, you might as well write in a nicer language...
