I lowkey want someone to make the Clojure of .NET which is a Lisp / Scheme like language but that takes full advantage of .NET I do like that yours does this with Python however. My two main languages for a while have always been Python and C#.

I do think theres some interesting value in something like IronPython becoming more compatible with regular Python code in that in theory you could take advantage of both .NET and Python libraries. I'm thinking maybe Django with access to any .NET library.

I’m not familiar enough with the CLR or .Net to know whether this fits your needs, but there is ClojureCLR:

There's the original/current implementation: https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr

And the newer reimplementation: https://github.com/dmiller/clojure-clr-next

That’s a really cool idea — a “Clojure of .NET” would definitely fill a unique niche. W++ kind of stumbled into this space by aiming to make .NET feel more like Python for scripting — but yeah, I’d love to explore where it could go if more folks want something expressive but tightly integrated with .NET.

Also, totally agree — bridging Python and .NET ecosystems more deeply (like Django with NuGet access ) sounds wild and fun. Appreciate the thoughts!
