What is the most Lisp-like type safe language?



Shen has type checking that you can turn on and off. When it's on, it's very much like an ML such as Standard ML.

This probably isn't the "most Lisp like," though, even though it does have s-expressions and cons cells. The other person who suggested Coalton is probably right, since AFAIK it's just Common Lisp with static types.


Carp is a statically-typed Lisp: https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp


Coalton which runs on SBCL


Typed Racket probably.
