Genryis

Genryis is a Lisp running on the JVM, with a few interesting takes on the game. There's a PDF and an implementation available for download.

Instances can be members of multiple classes, just like in RDF: it's the first language I've seen where a direct mapping to and from RDF actually makes a certain amount of sense. It has a simple indentation-based syntax, just like Python, that maps directly to s-expressions. It's got optional type checking for validation.

It's certainly more interesting to me than Arc… but then, so is Clojure. Arc was pretty underwhelming :)
