Did you know that a derivative of readable (wisp¹) is now used for the Guix Workflow language for reproducible science in HPC? Ricardo Wurmus who realized that showed it to people who were uneasy with the regular Scheme look of the code and the experience was very positive:

I built wisp 10 years ago with the thought at the back of my mind to use it in teaching one day, and now I use it to show error correction codes in a networking lecture and to represent concurrent algorithms for distributed systems.
¹: for more information on wisp and the source of the quote see https://www.draketo.de/software/wisp
