I just wanna throw myself in here and get some advice. I’ve started using lisp recently mostly for emacs configuration but also doing a bit of recreation game programming in Fennel. If I wanted to learn a lisp for general programming/application stuff like writing a shell, a compiler, something more user facing, what would be good to check out?

I prefer the schemes.... Chicken scheme for standalone programs, s7 for embedding into larger systems. They're simple and easy to mold to whatever shape you want in my experience
