   I think it doesn't make sense for it not to be. It seems like a very good way to transfer data with almost no drawback given a decent setup. I don't understand why that isn't used more often.

   Mutable what?

   I added a file, `examples.js`, which shows how you can encode some array algorithms on λJSON. It may look extremely inexpressible due to so lack of loops, math, etc - but it is still able to encode any conceivable algorithm, although more c

   Ah, fair enough. The user should avoid using native JS constructs on the code to be stringified, though - it is an interesting/useful side effect of the method that you are able to, but ideally you would define your functions using onl

   There are many possibilities since you can pass any program/algorithm through LJSON while still having a good level of safety. You could it, for example, to allow your users to pick an AI strategy for their bots in a game, among billio

   Very good catch. Any suggestion how I could improve the usage of null for determining the end of a call list?

    The point of ADT syntax is to allow deriving many functions on different data structures automatically. For example, lists and some functions can be defined as: cons = (x list cons nil -> (cons x (list cons nil))) nil
