Hi, I don't know if this question is appropriate, so if not, please ignore it and accept my apologies for being off-topic.
I am setting out to add scriptability to a largish and relatively mature, though still evolving, Java application. The application is a theorem prover and it operates on formulas expressed in the CLIF notation, about which it's enough to know that it's syntactically a Lisp-like language. Because of this I'd like to use a Lisp dialect to add scripting. Right now, I'm looking mostly at SISC and Kawa. So my question is this: What sort of analysis should I be making to select between these two? One thing I'll point out is that there will be quite a lot of interaction across the boundary between the scripting language and the existing Java application. I.e., there will be a lot of functions or methods that can be invoked on the scripting side to gather information about and manipulate the content being operated on and to initiate problem execution on the Java side. I mention this because if it's tedious to make any given bit of Java-side functionality accessible to the scripting side, that will be a negative. Lastly, if there are other Lisp-like scripting languages that integrate well with Java, I'd like to hear about them, too. My research suggests that while many such projects have been created, not many are actively developed or are very complete implementations of Lisp (or Scheme). Thanks.
