languages/lisp looks like a nice implementation of Common Lisp.
However it hasn't kept up with development in Parrot.

Some areas I encountered, when trying to 'make' in languages/lisp.

i. lexical scoping, The opcodes new_pad and peed_pad are gone now
ii. Calling conventions, use :slurpy for getting a variable number of 
return values
iii. regexp ops, the rx_* ops are gone
iv. Using namespace might simplify some things

It might be nice to bring languages/lisp back to life.
An idea of mine is to use SWIP and CFFI for convient access to C-libraries
from Parrot, http://rakudo.org/parrot/index.cgi?cffi.
