Accessing the code part and modifying during execution is actually rather easy in R.
Functions such as substitute or quote are commonly used and a language expression in R is a list that you can edit and evaluate back.
The internals itself in R actually sound quite lispy: both values and codes are SEXP (S-expressions).
R is inspired by Scheme and Common Lisp; it has first-class functions, multiple dispatch.
"This decision, more than anything else, has driven the direction that R development has taken. As noted above, there are quite strong similarities between Scheme and S, and the adoption of the S syntax for our interpreter produced something which “felt” remarkably close to S."
I don't remember the specifics, I had a presentation on PhDs during my license that mention this system, and CIFRE-funded PhD thesis seem to fit it, but I don't know if it's the only mechanism that exists.
What impresses me with Faust is the sheer number of targets they have: most audio plugin formats out there, but also web audio plugins, the new SOUL language (https://soul.dev/), Rust, C++, C, LLVM bitcode.
It seems to me, after quickly reading liquisoap documentation, that Faust is much more low-level: liquidsoap would connect different audio effects, whereas Faust can be used to write the audio effects, at the level of sample-by-sample processing.
Image search is one of the pain points when you want to deploy your own cloud, and what I'd miss compared to Google Photo or that image search in Dropbox.
> will enter service in 2038; the year the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is due to be retired.
So they end up with one, again, if they even build it. Even the UK can do better than that, though admittedly the French carriers are at least notionally more capable than the crap Gordon Brown foisted on us.
