"an embedded Forth with a Lisp in C" :)

Sounds like the opposite of what the post is advocating.

Yet it's not; Forth and C are too primitive for most tasks, and Common Lisp too magical. Snigl aims to find a middle way.

Programming languages will always be compromises, you always trade something in to get what you want. Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you a new religion.
