Do you perhaps mean syntax rather than structure? (Or a subset of the syntax.)
If I've guessed correctly, that language has already been wedged into lots of places that it's a poor fit, so I guess there's precedent there.
- mynegation 8y agoI am pretty sure Lisp was wedged into some places where it is a poor fit, but “lots”? Did you guess Javascript by any chance?
