GNU Guile is a dialect of Lisp used by quite a few software.

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

It is the configuration language of the Guix OS, a modern distro (very focused on computer freedom) , also by libraries and software like Gnucash, the GNU Debugger, a GUI toolkit for Gnome also, etc.

It is not a replacement of C, but can be used like Python.
