I wanna see a language where the type system and the actual language are the same language.

I'm not talking about self-hosted compiler, which TS is already. But basically what runs statically and what is compiled for runtime to be the same language in two contexts.

C++ is moving in that direction with constexpr expansion, but it also has to carry the legacy of macros, its existing type system, templates, and so on.

We need something clean.
