A little Clojure-like LISP in JavaScript.

  1. Read about the [language essentials & documentation]!(./doc/language-essentials.md).

  2. Drop wisp.min.js into your HTML code:

<script unsrc="wisp.min.js"></script>


<script type="application/wisp">
  (alert "Hello world!")
</script>


<!-- Load from a file: -->
<script type="application/wisp" unsrc="my-script.wisp"></script>

  1. Or install the binary with npm:

    npm install wisp

  2. Compile wisp code to native JS just like CoffeeScript:

    node_modules/.bin/wisp < my-script.wisp > my-script.js

  3. Fire up a REPL to explore the language:

    ./node_modules/.bin/wisp

Wisp is currently in maintenance mode. We’re merging PRs but not actively writing new code.
