Read that discussion. Learned a lot of good things.

  Wow, you're right, that's a hidden gem. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Indeed.. Seems the admin's point of view is "it's all fine and good that your language can manipulate ASTs with ease, but with the mere search-replace support of C (and perhaps other tools that actually try to parse code, can't show anything though or even describe what they do) I've hacked some really awesome things that I want included as already implemented macros or whatever out of the box in your new language to get me to switch." There's a fun quote on Nim's standard library reference page: "The good thing about reinventing the wheel is that you can get a round one."
