Pretty much any problem is easier to implement in Lisp or Forth, because reflection is a first-class feature of both languages.

@resuna@ohai.social @suetanvil@freeradical.zone I've built systems with millions of users in Erlang, Haskell, PHP, Typescript, C++, python, and go. I've built editor customizations and embedded scripting in lisp. I've built nothing real in Forth, but hobby projects. Dynamically tag checked languages with self modifying code are maintenance nightmares at scale. Best experience was Haskell; most pragmatic was Typescript. Anyway.
