A Programmable Programming Language

"As the software industry enters the era of language-oriented programming, it needs programmable programming languages."
Solving complex software problems often requires mixing programming languages. Which is difficult or impossible to do.
MutantOS needs a programming language where a program can rewrite itself and can add or remove language features. This Racket thing, is not even close.
