Great, but I need C++, Perl, then C#, Java, PHP, Python and all kinds of crappy languages to support that format.

Lucky for you, Greenspun's Tenth Rule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun's_Tenth_Rule) comes into play. All of those languages actually have Lisp embedded inside them: "Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp."
