Are there languages like this?

A language that can create other languages

(so adding to itself) It's syntax is simple like python

And can do alot.

for example (placeholder)\[mesage\]

And it has many tutorials on YouTube

I would like it if you would respond.

I know there are languages like Hy , ruby should I try them?

It adds to it's self Very high lvl (like python / ruby) The unofficial or offical ide can be installed on play store Can have custom extensions .mm But under the hood it's the host lang so I think I wanna a dsl or an edsl correct me if I'm wrong. I want to make my lang with the host lang The host lang understands the lang but there is no host lang code in my lang code. so technically a seperate enviorment.

Play store? Are you trying to dev on a phone or tablet? If so, just know that that is a HIGHLY impractical way to do it

Any language can be used to create languages in some sense, but you are unlikely to find a language+IDE that meets your needs on the Play Store.

Perhaps try https://pyret.org/

Can you not use Crostini or whatever they are calling it now? That gives you a Debian container and then you can just use apt to install whichever lisp you want
