1. TRAC language

Just to let you all know that I'm going to try to port nntrac from C to Euphoria and maybe figure out how to make it 64 bit in the process. Is there anything I should know, generally, about C to Euphoria conversion? I hope to create a version of TRAC-64 for Linux/Windows/Mac and then create an Exercism track for it - yeah, a "TRAC track". No one uses TRAC anymore but it's a good mental exercise and it explores the original idea behind homoiconicity.

homoiconicity

Just an idle question, would this be as if it executed strings, and it's first string as boot code used dos batch files, to use operating system calls as strings, to instantiate the programming language interpreter or compiler, to then execute higher level strings / program statements?

Are Lisp and TRAC the only current examples of this?
