I'm confused. Some of the points suggest that you want a powerful metaprogramming/macro system, while others are clearly against that. Otherwise, great article

  True. That is indeed an implication, unless some other facility is available. The necessity of meta-programming, and if so, the extent of it, is one if the biggest uncertainties I have currently, which could be determined at this time, by input from someone more knowledgeable and more familiar with it. Some of the related points from the article: > Will likely need to be able to treat code-as-data. Might need compile-time macros. > Meta-programming: No first-class macros (runtime), since it is a too powerful footgun. But should have compile-time macros. Thanks for the compliment!
