The whole point of homoiconicity is that a language (lisp) is implemented in itself. This is lisp implemented in python (not itself).

- Zamiel_Snawley 2y agoI thought the point of homoiconicity was essentially runtime reflection and evaluation of programs constructed at runtime, i.e. code is a first class datatype in the language. I don't think these properties imply much about the underlying implementation of the language.
