#\FORTH
\ LISP is a reflective language thanks to (reader) macros

IT ROCKS BECAUSE I FORTH LOVE
\ or did that "machine" factor to Forth ?

LISP
; Forth is reflective, too, thanks to input control
; actually, it can be argued that FORTH and LISP are the only
; standard languages that are really Turing-equivalent,
; for some strict formal notion of Turing-equivalence.
