The 60's idea that MACROS could do that seems

Ben.
It depends. One very handy method is to devise a machine architecture,
complete with registers and opcodes, and write the application code in
macros, creating instruction words--and then run them using a small
emulator for the devised machine.
After operation can be validated, re-code the macro bodies to generate
native machine code instead of emulated fictitious machine instructions.
A way to get certain tasks done very quickly.
