Croma is a dialect of Lisp created by the 2005 Irish Young Scientist of the Year, Patrick Collison.

This language went on to take second place at the 17th European Contest for Young Scientists in Moscow.

The underlying structure has been rewritten in C and Erlang-style multiprocessing has also been added. First class macros have been dropped from the features of Croma.
