the metaprogramming resources in Julia are very slick. I wrote a DSL that lets you write functions in that are then turned into synthesizable verilog modules. Implementing combinatorial logic (I haven't gotten to sequential yet) took about three days.

Yeah, meta is something I always struggled with in Lua, as you're completely constrained to the table structures, but just that little extra power of being able to metaprogram over whatever data I want, is absolutely incredible, and it's a bit easier to think about imo than Scheme macros just in the sense of trying to macroexpand in your head.
