I don't see why people won't just take the step D and Lisp do-- allowing full use of the programming language at compile time.

You can execute an ordinary functions at compile-time to read a DSL from a string or read attributes (reflective metaprogramming) on your program's classes. Take the string it outputs, use mixin(), and you have code. For example:

    // Sort a constant declaration at Compile-Time
    enum a = [ 3, 1, 2, 4, 0 ];
    static immutable b = sort(a);

"a" only appears in the compiler's memory. "sort" is a normal function that runs at compile-time. "allowing accessto the full language at compile-time" is similar to what dynamic languages such as Python and JavaScript give you, except D is a static language with GCC and LLVM backends.
