CLPython - an implementation of Python in Common Lisp - I think I've already mentioned this, but good things are worth repeating. And they seem to have been busy - they're already very close to a Python 2.5 implementation. I really should play with this a bit, as it combines two of my favorite languages and could help solve one of the central CL problems: the rather meager selection of good (meaning currently maintained and combinable) libraries. But whether I can get it running on Allegro CL 3.01 on my EeePC is rather questionable. I fear that in the last 5 major releases, quite a bit has happened ...

CouchDBX Revival - CouchDB as an application under OS X (Leopard only).

Nagare - from the description it sounds a bit like Uncommon Web and Seaside (the two leading web frameworks for Common Lisp and Smalltalk). And it uses Stackless - in my opinion, Guido should have included Stackless on the roadmap for Python 3000.

The Picodore 64 - a Commodore 64 PDA - from a modified toy (there were two joysticks and obviously a racing game with built-in C64).
