I think I'm surprised in general that no language targets the Go runtime. A ML built on Go could probably be popular, lots of people would like features from it.

Not exactly bytecode but Hy https://github.com/hylang/hy is a dialect of Lisp that compiles to Python.

Hy actually compiles directly to Python AST, not to Python. For a Lisp that compiles to Python, see Hissp: https://github.com/gilch/hissp
