Great comment! Can you share some information about the toolchain used around S-expressions this way? Did you really write literals in that way without quoting,

  While this is not a full answer, here is some relevant info: https://sabracrolleton.github.io/json-review https://sabracrolleton.github.io/json-review. Incidentally for the grandparent's comment about formatting, I would use something slightly different: (Here is a sentence with (:i some words) (:b emphasized) in (:i (:b different)) ways.) This is similar to what is used for some of the html-to-S-expression conversions.

  They open sourced some of their core tools for it ([1], [2]) along with some documentation and examples. Since it was designed as a data format (comparable to JSON) rather than a programming-language syntax, there's a lot less need for quoting.
