Well, to meet that requirement you must first have self editing code. That pretty much leaves you just FORTH or lisp AFAIK


Just no. It is easier to write a Lisp program that manipulates or processes a Lisp program than it is for example to write a Rust program that manipulates a Rust program, but that has not bearing on Emacs because Emacs never does that.

Source: have been programming in Emacs Lisp for 30 years.
