I think Lisp folks complain because so much effort has been spent to converge on the same stuff we already had. When it comes to data serialization, over many decades we've invented many formats, and they usually go off on tangents and then converge on essentially the same stuff. Lispers respond: "We told you so."
- vikiomega9 10y agoCan you point me to an example of a serialization that was reinvented?

- vikiomega9 10y agoAh I always figured S-expressions were "representations" as opposed to "serializations", but that makes sense. Any others?
