Sounds a bit like Dylan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_(programming_language)

"Dylan is a multi-paradigm programming language...created in the early 1990s by a group led by Apple Computer."

"Dylan derives...from Scheme and other Lisps;...However, Dylan has an ALGOL-like syntax instead of a Lisp-like prefix syntax."

I've long thought that Dylan is the single most promising programming language which went nowhere that I've seen in some 40 years in the computing field.

Alas they didn’t get it done in time for the Newton.

NewtonScript was also pretty cool tho.
