• Steel – An embedded scheme interpreter in Rust

  Not exactly what you asked for but, if you have time, I would recommend looking at Practical Common Lisp: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/ And also this blog post (which is a much smaller time commitment): https://mikelevins.github.io/posts/2020-12-18-repl-driven/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Anyone still using PHP to build side projects or webapps

  YES! I'm using PHP to build my Search Engine for Kids Activities (http://twkids.app) and its been great! I love PHP as there's no other language that provides the same simplicity and immediacy of results. I tried learning multiple frameworks but it was just too overwhelming and complicated.
