If you're okay with a System 6 appearance, I've already made one <https://github.com/jjuran/metamage_1/tree/master/68k/modules...>, for Advanced Mac Substitute <https://www.v68k.org/ams/>.

I do appreciate Alan Kay's thinking, in particular his talk "Normal Considered Harmful" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvmTSpJU-Xc>

My own high-level language, Varyx, has somewhat LISPy internals and is very dynamic — for example, you can annotate a variable with a type that's determined only at run time — and has an eval() that insulates the caller from the payload and vice versa. You can sequester mutable state within a closure, which can't be cracked open. Using an experimental Varyx build with some bindings for Apple's Core Graphics API, I wrote a script that rendered an arrow cursor (which I donated to the ravynOS project).

Perhaps we should talk. :-)
