In a strange twist, there is a C like language called Pike that
has experimented with all sorts of things like this. It has all kinds of
neat and quirky things; like for example defining inline functions
right in the parameter list of a function call. That might be a good place
for these types of experiments. I was intrigued by it, but then Limbo
came along.
BTW, the Roxen web server is written in Pike.
