> I wish there was a language that was actually multiple levels of compatible languages. I first read about multi-level programming back in the 80ies and was hooked. Objective-C has bit of this, because the C part is static and pretty low level, but the object-oriented part is dynamic and can go quite high level [1][2]. My own project, Objective-Smalltalk[3] definitely has "multi-levelness" as one of its primary goals. The way to get there is to make the elements of the language malleable, similar to Open Implementation[4], but using a software-architectural frameworks instead of an object-oriented one.
