A similar language that’s been worked on for a while now is [Min](https://min-lang.org/). Interestingly it is written in Nim.

I was interested in the C interface part but it never got there. :(

I've updated the blog to include a short explanation of it.

min creator here :)

min does not have a C FLI essentially because it has a "Nim FLI". It is really easy to add new symbols to the language using a Nim API (which is also used internally to define all symbols of the language).

See https://min-lang.org/learn-extending/ for more info. Maybe I should generate some Nim docs for the public API though... but it's really easy to use, and you can check the lib folder of the repo for examples: https://github.com/h3rald/min/tree/master/minpkg/lib
