Ask HN: What metaprogrammable language do you/would like to use?
DRANK

Like many folks here, I probably spend too much time reading about, trying and contemplate using many new languages. The (overlapping) paradigms that interest me are metaprogramming, functional, and (newer) statically-typed. I decided to focus only on metaprogrammable ones from now on (as a time saver and to step up).I made a list and ordered them by how much I would be interested in using them (which combines my curiosity with current/expected adoption).My short-list for metaprogrammable ones are: Clojure Elixir Nim Crystal Rust (would be higher if I did more low-level work) Pony I left most other functional ones off my list because that's an exploration in itself for another time. I was surprised that I put Clojure and Elixir first given my preference for static types. Of all the kitchen-sink features that Nim has, I can't accept camelCased == under_scored names otherwise it could have been first. Ruby is notably absent as I use it and am looking for something better/diff…
