There was also Curl (a language, not the Net lib) some years ago. Tim Berners-Lee was involved in the company as an advisor or something. Around the 2000s, IIRC. Lisp-like in the sense that nested expressions were the main syntax. Had tried it briefly then. Was mainly for web apps though. Acquired later, maybe, by a Japanese company.
