The only language that even comes close in terms of low suckage factor is Python.<br /><br />The CL community is quite active nowadays, and the library situation is vastly better now than it was even just a few years ago.

For whatever reason, type restrictions always, always end up an impediment for me. I want to extend a DSL and therefore losing macros would be a major setback. I've given up on PLT for a number of reasons, none of which seem worth going into.
