Thanks, that is a very nice writeup. I have been experimenting a bit with creating new Lisp-like languages in Racket and the idea of growing a language to solve specific types of problems is powerful (and is the way I program in Lisp, from the bottom up). Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but you might enjoy the experiences of someone building their own Lisp Machine with a eZ80, complete with hardware hacking support: https://youtu.be/Ad9NtyBCx78

Part of the motivation for writing this up is to explain internally about a DSL used for testing web APIs, for example: <https://github.com/KayEss/fostgres/blob/master/Example/films...

I expect we'll extend use of this sort of mechanism much further the more people understand it.

I'll watch that video, sounds interesting. A company I worked for nearly ended up getting a Symbolics LISP machine for CGI in the early 90s. Would have been pretty sweet I think.
