Yes, S-expressions come in many flavors, some more minimal than others, some binary. They are all truly wonderful.
The most wonderful to me are the simplest ones, and Jevko grows out of the same spirit as them.
However, it does not attempt to be a new flavor of S-expressions and diverges in ways which to me are worth looking at. I hope it can appeal and be useful not only to minimalist syntax enthusiasts.
BTW Some time ago I've been also experimenting with binary versions of Jevko, certainly with inspiration from both netstrings and Rivest's csexps:

Since then I had some more ideas which I hope to get around to implementing at some point.
