A Clojure-compatible(-ish) Lisp dialect hosted on Python 3 with seamless Python interop.
Getting Started
Basilisp is developed on GitHub and
hosted on PyPI. You can fetch Basilisp
using pip (or any other Python dependency manager which can pull from PyPI):
pip install basilisp
Once Basilisp is installed, you can enter into the REPL using:
basilisp repl
Documentation
Basilisp documentation can help guide your exploration at the REPL and beyond. Additionally, Basilisp features many of the same functions and idioms as Clojure, so you may find guides and documentation there helpful for getting started.
