I think this is pretty close to Smalltalk from before classes were added. Is that basically right? Syntax looks simpler and there's the same slightly off-putting "macros aren't necessary because our syntax is flexible" sentiment.

That might be right, but I'm not familiar enough with early Smalltalk to say. Self was a bigger inspiration than Smalltalk.

Thanks! The inheritance model is definitely from Self. I'm having some trouble finding the compiler/jit infra in the github repo, would be really interested to see if you've gone down the same dynamic optimisation path Self did
