The language itself draws some inspiration from LISP, Smalltalk, Eiffel, JavaScript and Python. I guess, SICP was a huge influence on my thinking about this problem. Compilers (in particular cross-compilers) do something similar, but otherwise code generation has come a bit out of fashion (due to the limitations arising if you don't have a Turing complete language as a base). Some people have also looked at NN for code generation, but nothing usable has come from this so far afaik.
