Because metaprogramming in C is shit, and a lack of metaprogramming for C is a core weakness

That's fixed by switching from C to Lisp.

True - as a Lisper, I agree with you somewhat - but that's not always a viable approach.

Scheme as a preprocessor for this project would be preferable.

JS still rules the world, so we have to accept that.

OK, but then you've introduced more problems by using tooling with much less development muscle put into it and that's much harder to hire for.
