If you're interested in lisp without the JVM, there's always ClojureScript. Once the JVM compiler is up an running it compiles most of my ClojureScript code in about 1 sec, and there's utilities that auto re-compile code as files change.

"without the JVM" ... "Once the JVM compiler is up"

Does not compute! :P

Can't quite tell if you're serious or joking. In case it's the former: the ClojureScript compiler is implemented in Clojure, which runs on the JVM. The compiled code is Javascript, which doesn't require the JVM. There have been some discussions about making the compiler hostable from Javascript as well, but it's not possible just yet.
