Compiler using Lisp’s macro system for metaprogramming C-like languages launched on January 5, 2018 with 80 votes, #576 of 3,021 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.
In plain words
This compiler leverages Lisp's macro system to enable metaprogramming for C-like languages. It allows developers to write code that generates or manipulates other code at compile time, bringing Lisp's powerful macro capabilities to C-like syntax. The tool is aimed at programmers interested in metaprogramming techniques and those seeking to combine the expressiveness of Lisp macros with familiar C-style language features.

Dak – a Lisp-like language that transpiles to JavaScript2023 · daklang.com · ▲94Hi HN, author here. Happy to answer any questions. I had an itch to make a lisp like language that was a thin layer on top JavaScript. Something that could leverage the thriving ecosystem that exists around JavaScript. It's brittle, hot off the oven. Besides being a fan of parenthesis, I think macros fill in a gap that the JavaScript ecosystem today fills in with one-off compilers, bundler plugins and such. Macros can't do everything, but for example I think they have the potential to enable things like JSX, Solid and Svelte style libraries. Take the tour to get a feel for what it can do and…

Talanoa▲337Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
