Developers can already readily use CoffeeScript as I mentioned. You simply develop your script in CoffeeScript, compile it to JavaScript, and hand it off to MediaWiki to serve to users.

As for LISP, you are correct, they were made for two very different things. This begs the question, why would you want to use it on the web? No modern browser has a built in LISP interpreter so LISP cannot be used client side. At best it can be implemented server side but again why? We already have Lua and it suits the way wikis work very well.
