Which language that is not a lisp or lisp dialect is closest to lisp? in c/lisp

Concatenative languages have the same sort of homoiconiciy, e.g. Factor or Darhflow's Elymas.

FORTH has the same kind of minimalism as McCarthy's EVAL.

This.

Smalltalk's metaprogramming through classes-as-objects and code-as-objects is very much comparable to Lisp's.

Ruby is a modern example, with Pascal/Algol-like syntax with lots pf sugar. It has some very rich metaprogramming.
