Yes, I know there is Chicken Scheme and Guile. I prefer Clojure over them though.

For the niche that Python enjoys (data science, devops, machine learning) there's also Hy (hylang.org) which has more or less the same syntax as Clojure. With Clojurescript, Hy and Clojure you can use Clojure syntax in all 3 major layers: front-end, scripting and compiled/back-end.

Haven't seen Hy yet, thanks for pointing it out! I have been getting back into machine learning recently and Python dominates. Great to see a Python lisp!
