Are there any other production-ready Lisps except of CL?
Sadly the .Net Clojure seems to be unmaintained, and there aren't obvious leading choices for the LLVM or Python worlds (Hy exists, is usable and interoperable, but doesn't have a clear value prop, maybe macros). C world has Racket I suppose. WASM has an S-Expression representation, but that alone does not a lisp make.
Whatever X Clojure can not directly answer, the ever expanding universe of solutions based on the JVM can.
If the OP wants to stop painting themselves into corners, write more code. All systems offer up lots of paint and lots of corners. Only experience in those systems can guide you out of them.
I’m a CL fan, so I’d turn to CL if a CL implementation will work for you. But if you’re looking for an s-expr with no excuses, it’s Clojure on the JVM. Though pretty sure GraalVM can turn even Clojure into native code if that’s a goal.
