… with the right translator to JavaScript, which also happens to be true of S-expressions.
His table is incorrect, incidentally: S-expressions support mixed content (if I understand what he means) and are also fully generic.
He doesn't have a good example of the benefits of his proposal over S-expressions: 'more modern' just means 'undiscovered bugs.'
I respect his enthusiasm and hard work, but I believe what the world needs is hard work on existing things rather than hard work reïnventing the wheel.
