... and that hasn't been a problem for programmable programming languages like Common Lisp. In fact, it's a strength. A great example is GLSL. It's a great system but the context switching required by the programmer and the plumbing necessary to send the compiled program to the graphics card... tedious. cbaggers is working on a CL package that provides a DSL that compiles from Lisp to GLSL code and helpers which compile and upload the code for you. You can essentially live-edit GLSL code without switching gears. This is useful.
