If your language is a DSL factory, the line between your language and DSLs naturally blurs. If https://github.com/y2q-actionman/with-c-syntax exists, does it mean that C is a DSL of Common Lisp, given a good enough standard library? If https://github.com/calyau/maxima exists, does it mean that Maxima is just Common Lisp with more maths? If https://github.com/Shen-Language/shen-cl and https://github.com/coalton-lang/coalton/ exist, does it mean that Shen and Coalton are just a fancy way of writing Common Lisp in an immutable way? If https://github.com/froggey/Iota exists and we can play sdlquake on Mezzano, does it mean that LLVM-IR is a dialect of Common Lisp?
The above series of questions is not meant to be fully credible - it's meant to be food for thought.
I believe the OP's ergolib provides an example. From https://github.com/rongarret/ergolib/blob/master/core/bindin..., the examples show code like:
;;; (bb
I have started spending most of my time programming again after a long hiatus where I was primarily focused on business. One of the things I am picking up in the process is learning Common Lisp. I am tracking my progress here[1]
Not for any particular reason, but because I think Lisp Macro/Metaprogramming is a fundamentally different thing that can only help expand my mind.
