Erlang briefly years ago, and then went back to Common Lisp. Now I can try to learn BEAM&amp;#x2F;OTP in a syntax that is more appealing to me than Elixir&amp;#x27;s Ruby-like syntax. I like Elixir, and it is very popular, but true runtime macros are available in LFE 1.0. In addition, Robert Virding was one of the co-creators of Erlang, so his devotion to bringing the best Lisp he could to the BEAM platform within its confines, comes with some authority. The Google Group Lisp Flavoured Erlang is a very responsive community and resource for getting started. Congratulations LFE on your v1.0!
OT, but I also use Extempore - the music, graphics livecoding environment with a great language, xtlang that I believe was based upon S7 scheme and has an LLVM backend [1]. There are some s-expression to WebAssembly projects floating around too. All around good news for all the choices to work with up front no matter your preferences.&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;   [1]  http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;extempore.moso.com.au&amp;#x2F;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</text></comment>

Also I look forward to reading SICP converted to LFE.
