i think for something to be like Lisp without actually being Lisp it would need to be functional and feature homoiconicity, or at least something like homoiconicity.The only language like that, that many people would not call a Lisp anyway, is Julia.

EDIT: wikipedia says Elixir too but I don't really know anything about Elixir...
