This is a very huge topic, but I can't fight the feeling that the final goal of 
the concept has mostly been ignored so far — maybe it's to exotic compared to 
macros:
I don't know a single language that has adopted such features (except, of 
course, Lisp ;-) — but I guess it didn't adopt anything, it's just possible to 
do lots of crazy things with it ;-).
None the less, I think the concept is fascinating, and I hope it gains traction.

If it does, I predict the ML isn't structured enough to bring the topic 
forward, and there's no such thing as "sub-mailinglists" yet. I don't know if 
Discourse would help here, but I also don't know if the switch will ever 
happen, so maybe we could create a wiki-page* to collect thoughts?

* it's rather easy, but to be honest, my experience is that it doesn't work out 
:-(
Maybe big topics like this (multithreading would be another one) aren't suited 
to be shaped by the whole "community" — but let's wait, one or two statements 
from Core may be enough to fuel attention ;-).
