+* Statically-typed AST transform-friendly language
+
+- A Haskell/Rusty language, but with GC and nice compiler errors.
+- First-class support for AST transforms- both one-off (apply this transform to the source code and commit the change) and ongoing (define AST transforms to run as part of the compilation process).
+- Maybe such language would never need reflection, so refactoring would be very safe.
