Racket is often heralded as the "programming language programming language" and comes with tons of features to build full blown languages: https://racket-lang.org/ https://racket-lang.org/ The most complete language/ecosystem that really showcases Racket's capabilities is Rosette IMO: https://github.com/emina/rosette/ https://github.com/emina/rosette/

Also worth noting that language that runs this very website was implemented in Racket.

  I think it was implemented in PLT Scheme before it stopped being a Scheme implementation and became Racket.

  Hacker News runs on a language that runs on Racket? Which language is that?

    Arc Lisp[0]. This forum was concieved as a MVP for the language. Anarki, a divergent open source fork, can be found here[1]. [0] http://arclanguage.org/ http://arclanguage.org/ [1] https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki
