I like Dylan (http://www.opendylan.org/) and CL - and I wanted to write both server side and client side web applications in it, so I wrote a compiler for a Lisp that resembles the original prefix/sexp-style Dylan as much as possible, described in (http://lispm.dyndns.org/documentation/prefix-dylan/book.anno...).

As I needed a name, I just chose "Ralph" as that was the original code-name of Dylan (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Dylan_programmin...). I'm currently implementing a web-based IDE for the OpenDylan compiler (http://www.opendylan.org/), called "Hula" (original code-name of Apple's IDE, see http://wiki.opendylan.org/wiki/view.dsp?title=AppleDylanScre...). The work-in-progress is at https://github.com/turbolent/hula.

If you're interested in a demo, let me know.
