O GLORY DAY OUR PAUL HATH RETURNED! Also is Lisp just syntactic sugar over Lambda calculus? All the Lisp people (I.e., the authors of books I’ve skimmed on lisp) worship it, but it’s simply an encoding of a n-ary tree, no? I know you can do elegant things like define lisp in lisp and the whole homoiconicity[?] thing - but don’t these endless opportunities stem from n-ary trees? My point is that of course Lisp can do this and that if it’s simply a representation of a tree - trees capture as models like all the structures of information.
