   maybe an alternative to sexps appeals to those who don't use lisp because they don't use lisp because of sexps? the idea is that mexps translate directly (and simply) into sexps, so macros would work in exactly the same way as they do now.

   thanks, i'd not read this. they do seem quite similar, though i think we focus on different things. i think i prefer haskell operators to infixing with {}. still, i hadn't considered subscripting.

   lisp introduced if-then-else expressions. 'if statements' was a little vague, so i've rephrased. i wasn't really expecting to be on hn :/
