Lisp-like languages have historically led the world in metaprogramming and flexibility. While many modern languages have adopted the idea of macros, Lisp-like languages such as
Racket have continued pushing the envelope,
attempting to make macros as easy as possible to incorporate into everyday programs. On the other hand, Lisp's minimal, parenthesis-based syntax can be hard
to adapt to - to the point that Lisp is sometimes said to stand
for "Lots of Irritating Silly Parentheses".
Rhombus is a new programming
language that aims to have the best of both worlds, marrying Racket's metaprogramming capabilities to a simple Python-like syntax and reasonable standard-library defaults.
