PPS: I still dream of a PL where the sign for defining a symbol and the sign

'='!). So that, among other semantic and practicle benefits, it would not be

for protection against our feable brains ;-)



Scheme has existed for almost 40 years.


Sure, but it is too far from lua ;-) and there is no Löve for scheme.
However, as you speak of it, I have in unforseenable future (yet another) scheme in mind, but with builtin, hum, say, "forms", kinds of lua-like flexible objects. So that not every data structure is a list, and indeed code-is-data would be forms (he, he).
