I think, if I was designing a LISP-ish language, I'd have a first-class syntax for objects which used different opening and closing characters – maybe (FOO bar baz) for a list, but [FOO :BAR bar :BAZ baz] for an object. I think Clojure has what you're looking for, and the syntax is great, much more light-weight than JSON (the syntax even has its own name: EDN). 'Objects' are first-class hash maps, your example could look like this `{:class FOO :bar BAR :baz BAZ}`.
