Lisp – Mecrisp Stellaris Unofficial 1.0 documentation
Io and Rebol both have homo-iconicity and a macro system. Would you call them a Lisp? The name "Lisp" is short for "Lisp Processing". No wonder Lisp is the most powerful language in the world, when all powerful languages are secretly Lisp without knowing it!!!

For oo/meta I'm partial to IO: https://iolanguage.org, is pretty neat to see how prototypal OO works.

May 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I have started looking into a frontend language. Not sure yet if I should roll my own or try to hook up Cwerg to an existing language. In any case that language should be a systems language similar to the ones described in awesome-low-level-programming-languages.

If Lua is faster and smaller than Python, while being just as powerful and capable, then why is Python so much more popular?
Funny, I am also in the market for a C++ alternative and had looked at Nim before. I felt it was a bit "kitchen-sinky" but I'll give it another shot. A comparison of system languages that came out of this effort can be found here: https://github.com/robertmuth/awesome-low-level-programming-languages
