- osmarks 6y agoThis doesn't have any of what makes lisps nice, in that you cannot, as far as I can tell from those docs, operate on the data structures the code consists of at all.
- Spivak 6y agoThat’s also not really the defining feature of lisps though. If it was, any language with access to its own parser would be a lisp.
- Jtsummers 6y agoThis language isn’t a lisp, nor is it homoiconic. It’s just a tree-structured language. It may be fair to compare the syntax and structure to s-expressions, but not to lisp itself. In the same way this language could as easily be expressed as XML.
- keymone 6y agoThis is basically half assed bug ridden implementation of half of a lisp.
- ByteJockey 6y agoYeah, that seems to happen every few years an people call it revolutionary, which half ends up implemented seems to vary. And then they realize that it's not very useful without the other half and it dies.
