Have you dabbled with Julia [1] before? It sounds like it might be right up your alley. It's not a lisp, but it's very "lispy" in a lot of ways, and it's focused on scientific/numeric computing with an active community focused on the same. The creators also mentioned J as an influence I believe, though I haven't used J myself, so I can't comment on that.

Yes I have. J and Wasp Lisp are tiny ecosystems, and I like that a lot about them. Julia is trying to be a Matlab replacement and a whole lot more. I'm going to wait until it matures. I'm teetering on Zig and Rust for my C replacement and as a hook into J’s libraries, or a Wasp VM written in Rust.
