You might be interested in Lean. It's my favorite lisp, even though it's really not at all a lisp. It's a nice programming language, and it lets you really hack on commands, macros, syntax, and elaboration.

It's often suggested that Lean is a general programming language but I don't see typical libraries to do basic stuff in it, like an arg parser, web server, GUI, SQL integrations etc.

Can lean generate small static binaries the same way Go/Rust/C/C++ can?

How practical is rewriting, say, grep in Lean?
