As a haskell nerd, I feel that I have the moral authority to declare you king of the nerds.
“Ha! You think your language has macros? You call that a macro?! This list processing code is a list of tokens, why wouldn’t it be able to edit itself?”
Absolutely. It’s just that less fuss is being made about it on hacker news because the cool kids say you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn rust when they used to say that you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn haskell.
With stack (consistent package version snapshot database based project starter and build tool) instead of cabal, you get the transferable and repeatable build benefits of docker with none of the hassle. Just stack new at the start and stack build or stack repl during development. Nothing gets bitrotten any more.
I’ve addressed both popularity (waned - rust is the cool new difficult-to-learn principled language now) and bitrottenness (rock solid). I’m not sure what else you were meaning if it wasn’t either of these.

It breaks my brain.
When they said, “Don’t write self modifying code”, they obviously didn’t mean me! /s
Is haskell still alive?

Nah, too relevant, what with LUA, functional programming, currying, and AI, et. al. ;)
I did an AI robot arena bot in college using Lisp. That was interesting.
