If Scheme is Lispy enough for you, then there is also guile-wm [1].

As for the operating system, there is "Guix System Distribution" [2]
which is based on Guile.  It uses dmd as its init system (also written
in Guile).  You can also try Guix package manager on your current
system; it will not interfere with the package manager of your system.
I would say it's a very "impressive Lisp program".
