Ask HN: Does an equivalent of Clojure exist for .NET?

- Knowing there is F#, which is not quite it, imho. - Knowing about ClojureCLR, which is not up to .Net 6.x as of today...

IronScheme aims to be a R6RS conforming Scheme-like implementation for all .NET implementations and platforms. https://github.com/IronScheme/IronScheme

ClojureCLR can already run on .NET 5.0 .

https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr/wiki/Getting-started

It looks like the 1.11.0 beta has a build for .NET 6.0. Very likely, when it is released, .NET 6.0 will be supported.

I have been wanting something like this for .NET for a few months now. The framework is very flexible for new programming languages.
