Janet is a small programming language with lisp-like syntax. Like Lua it can be easily embedded in system programs.

There is a good web-framework based on Janet — Joy. A small set of libraries is also available, so even GUI applications can be built with Janet.

Kalyn is a functional programming language with a tiny compiler implemented in Haskell and Kalyn itself. Semantically Kalyn is very close to Haskell but syntactically it looks like a typed Lisp.

You can find an overview of the internals by the link below. The source code of the compiler is available on Github.

A couple of days ago I discovered an interesting tutorial on the development of a functional language compiler using C++, Flex, Bison, and LLVM. The author uses approaches found in the book "Implementing functional languages: a tutorial" by Simon Peyton Jones. Very fascinating reading.
