Fun fact: I thought that for my second programming language a mere king wouldn't do, it would have to be named after a god. :-)
Different dialects would emerge due to its macro system.
It's inevitable that people will use different sugar/macro libraries that do the same thing. Currently to me it looks like people are just not using sugar libraries.
I'm not sure if this is because people aren't used to macros or because they don't want an extra dependency. Or if they write and include their own macros, which I understand helps to maintain code but could be lowering productivity.
So I think this could happen but probably at a lower scale than Lisps because they are less capable by default. And at this pace it wouldn't happen for a while
I'm old enough to remember watching Bugs Bunny as a child and it also reminded of the 1978 Superman movie in which Lex Luthor, played by Gene Hackman, is using a series of insults beginning with the letter 'n', but falls short of using 'nimrod'(thankfully):
"No, no, no, it's 'N'! 'N' as in Neanderthal, nincompoop, nitwit.."
By the way, you'll never find any footage of Bug Bunny ever saying 'Nimrod'.
"Bugs Bunny never said the word Nimrod; not in “A Wild Hare” and not anywhere else. It was Daffy Duck that called Elmer a Nimrod. This is the Mandela Effect in full view:"
Daffy Duck Taught Everyone The Wrong Definition Of The Word 'Nimrod'
