I have a minimal amount of experience with Lisp and have read the blog posts on how to implement the basic special forms which are needed to define a Lisp. I'm considering trying to write my own Lisp as a scripting language for a platform whose primary language is something that I don't like. Thing is, I don't really want to write code using a minimal set of primitives. I want to write in a full Lisp.
Are there any "bring your own bootstrap" Lisp implementations, which provide a more full-featured language once the basic primitives have been provided? Something that would let me go more quickly from a couple hundred lines of bootstrap code into a more full fledged language, even if the runtime is slow.
I'm interested in this too. Functions, lambdas, macros come to mind. But I'd like to here the take from lisp experts.
