I know there is no formal definition, but without homoiconicity provided by s-exps, it is hard to call it a lisp. Of course, it sounds like you're well aware of this. Do you use a lisp for hobby projects.
- lispm 9y agoThere are a bunch of Lisp dialects without s-expression syntax. McCarthy's first Lisp programs were written in MLISP notation.
