Probably the thing you're looking for is clisp (stands for "Common Lisp").
I believe this is kind of the "standard" lisp interpreter.

One thing I would recommend.  Don't install the package via RPM.  In every
RPM I've found for this package, something is always horribly broken.  It's
not that tough to install it from source.  You have to edit a couple of
config files, but I've set it up on two systems so far with no problems.

Now if I could just find the time to learn Lisp... <wink>
