I’m interested in this “comptime” aspect. Zig has it too, but are there any other languages that use this? I’m under the impression that there’s a distinction between comptime evaluation and typical lisp macros.
Cakelisp differs from Zig in that arbitrary code modification is supported, which is a step closer to the modifiable environment of Lisps. Very few languages besides lisp allow you to do things like "iterate over every function defined and change their bodies, and create a new function which calls them". Zig does not support that. It's extremely useful for some tasks (e.g. hot-reloading code modification, mentioned in the article)
Jai isn't out yet, but I was inspired by many of the comptime ideas.
Lots of things don't work in d's CTFE.
It's certainly very useful, and much better than e.g. c++ constexpr. But it's still worlds away from proper lisp metaprogramming.
