Plus, I might add, in this day and age, if what you're really in is
designing your own custom language, it probably makes more sense to
write your own script -- perhaps even in Python -- which processes the
custom language into some other language (perhaps even Python).

That is, if what you want is language customizations, it often makes a
lot more sense to just do them yourself and process to some other,
non-customized language, rather than to ask that the customizations be
put a preexisting language.  The downside is that this unfortunately can
create debugging problems, but it's often an infinitely better approach
because it doesn't require consent with any other language designers
:-).
