    Macros, not sure, I haven't used them, but they were the main impetus behind RAST so... probably moving along rather nicely. A lot of work was put into figuring out how they should be implemented over the past nearly decade (see Alma, née 007).

    (C) Kernel's operatives do a syntax->"side effect" transformation, at that same late stage as Bel's macros. Kernel operatives are essentially functions, except that the evaluation of the operands (syntax) into arguments (values) has been suppressed. In this sense, operatives are small interpreters.

    If an (A) macro is well-behaved, you can often "optimize" it either to a (B) form or a (C) form. In my Bel implementation, it took me ages to notice that I could do the latter. I documented it here: https://github.com/masak/alma/issues/302#issuecomment-992556...
