How is it a false statement to say that Lisp allows code to be treated as data by virtue of its simple syntax, and that Haskell treats data as code because of its default to lazy evaluation implemented with thunks? That's all I'm saying. I thought this way of looking at it was an interesting contrast. I find the data structure-function half of the point less interesting.
