Systems engineer, ~5 years of Rust in production. Most recently:
- Helped build a distributed notification engine (3.3B notifications/day at 300k/sec, 99.9999% dispatch reliability)
- Feature store serving 60M daily requests at p99 < 5ms
- Pingora based L7 reverse proxy
- DBSP based stream analytics engine processing 3.3M events/sec on a single node
Open to anything interesting, especially where Rust is the primary language. Happy to chat!

I think macros can help when the syntax seems messy, that is where lisp shines the most. Have a look at extempore lang (https://extemporelang.github.io/) you might like it. Macros written by others can feel like magic, but a DSL you create might still feel the most intuitive. I get your point about hidden syntax though.
The only other language I am still curious about trying for livecoding is forth, for example Sporth(https://paulbatchelor.github.io/proj/sporth.html)

Hey, thanks for taking a look! I have messed around with Clojure (Overtone) and Sonic Pi (Ruby dialect) and normally prefer lisps for anything fun :)
Regarding advantages/disadvantages, Lisp is always very terse which helps and with structural editing juggling parens becomes a non-issue. Dev environment being fiddly and fragile is the biggest con, you need to put some effort upfront in that.

At $work we are evaluating different IPC strategies in Rust. My colleague expanded upon 3tilley's work, they have updated benchmarks with iceoryx2 included here[0]. I suppose the current release should perform even better.

It hurts to hear stigma and Emacs together in a sentence but I guess you are referring to the arcane keybindings of Emacs. In that case I use native keybindings for editing in Emacs i.e. the old Cntrl-C, Cntrl-V, Cntrl-A, Cntrl-Z, Cntrl-S and vim keybindings for executing commands i.e. for things like running code. This is a great setup for beginners so do contact me if you need Emacs to be used with native keybindings :)
Just to give an example of what can be done using org-mode, this is the project I am using to grok Literate Programming -- http://ray_tracer.surge.sh/
The whole thing is generated using one org-mode file -- https://gitlab.com/snippets/1710454
and this org-mode file is the one I work in, it will eventually generate the source code in separate files too, once I have finished the project.
This is what my setup looks like -- https://i.imgur.com/mqi8vPR.png
Anyways I can't convince you to use it, but hopefully I can convince you to give it a try, it isn't easy but it is worth it :)
