CAD008: Compiler Puts a full expander + compiler on-chain, so smart contracts can legitimately write and deploy smart contracts using CVM ops as the target IR. Any language that lowers to Convex Lisp or CVM ops becomes a first-class on-chain language — Solidity-style single-language lock-in is structurally avoided.
CAD009: Expanders and Macros Brings Dybvig-Friedman-Haynes expansion-passing-style macros on-chain — more general than traditional macro systems and strong enough to host entirely new languages or DSLs inside a single eval. Contract authors can extend the language itself rather than routing around its limits.
CAD026: Convex Lisp A Clojure-inspired homoiconic Lisp tuned to the CVM's immutable persistent data structures, compiling on-chain and supporting REPL-driven development against a live network. General-purpose languages aren't deterministic enough and Solidity can't express the CVM's richer account model — Lisp is the pragmatic fit.
