A Clojure-compatible(-ish) Lisp dialect hosted on Python 3 with seamless Python interop.

Basilisp is developed on GitHub and hosted on PyPI. You can fetch Basilisp using pip (or any other Python dependency manager which can pull from PyPI):

pip install basilisp

Once Basilisp is installed, you can enter into the REPL using:

basilisp repl

Basilisp documentation can help guide your exploration at the REPL and beyond. Additionally, Basilisp features many of the same functions and idioms as Clojure, so you may find guides and documentation there helpful for getting started.

For those who prefer a video introduction, feel free to check out this talk hosted by the London Clojurians group about Basilisp.
