Well said. And it got me thinking. -I wonder if this article is well known: http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html If not then people might enjoy a deeper dive into this kind of thing! For anybody who's not read it - since it's pretty long I'll try and sum it up with a quote from about 2/3 of the way down: "Lisp is executable XML with a friendlier syntax" This bit always comes to mind when I think of lisp and "code as data / data as code".
