Sounds like Rust did to macros what I wanted long ago in C (and everyone frowned upon me for that). Lisps and sexprs aren’t exclusive to this. You can “load” the code into a var and modify it through regular data processing and then feed it to an executor. You just need language designers to implement that. This entire lisp homoiconicity religion bugged me since forever. It’s just a read-eval part of a loop which never had a requirement for everything to be represented as a Cons.
