@interlisp ☝️ The syntax of FORMAT and LOOP blends with Common Lisp in a way similar to how the CLISP notation augments Interlisp. I don't mind the odd syntaxes of these little languages as they don't force to step outside the language for expressing specialized tasks.

@amoroso @interlisp you must be one of the first people I've encounterd who think they blend well! I've heard people claim they have a baroque beauty by being so odd, but that's about it.

@AndreasDavour Perhaps my definition is closer to theirs as this is something that's difficult to express.

@amoroso @interlisp I do like how they emphasize how much of a toolkit the CL language is. Using macros even *you* get to create weird looking DSL with odd looking syntax! That's so charming.
