[$] Flexible metaprogramming with Rhombus

Lisp-like languages have historically led the world in metaprogramming andflexibility. While many modern languages have adopted the idea of macros,Lisp-like languages such asRacket have continued pushing the envelope,attempting to make macros as easy as possible to incorporate into everydayprograms. On the other hand, Lisp's minimal, parenthesis-based syntax can be hardto adapt to - to the point that Lisp is sometimes said to standfor "Lots of Irritating Silly Parentheses".Rhombus is a new programminglanguage that aims to have the best of both worlds, marrying Racket'smetaprogramming capabilities to a simple Python-like syntax and reasonablestandard-library defaults.
