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.

@StompyRobot@mastodon.gamedev.place @suetanvil@freeradical.zone Reflection doesn't mean self-modifying code, it means that code is a first class object in the language.
