Very good read for anyone that wants to write this outdated language in 2016.

"more powerful than Lisp" means, because you clearly know nothing of the language at all.
C macros are lexer-level: they allow literally everything.
With tokenizer-eval it also adds the constexpr-like ability to macros - allowing lexer-stage evaluation/rewriting of tokens.
Lisp lacks the above or uses convoluted expressions to partially emulate a simple C macro.
Maybe it could have a smaller footprint? That's about it.
Zero-overhead principle: if something is unused it costs nothing. _TokenOf() is like having a extremely compact eval() which feeds back into C preprocessor. The key reason C won its doesn't impose costs before use.
Your insistence on bringing it up reinforces its lack of value.
Its brought up because delusional users of toy language often proudly claim independence from C while using software which depends on it. When Lisp OSes/Games make a comeback you could claim lisp is actually powerful/useful and not a shitty script.
After all the abstract bullshit in Lisp hasn't helped it one bit to compete with any other language.
Where are the Lisp webservers,text/graphics/sound editors, operations systems,games today?
