  1. If JavaScript is Lisp for the masses (I don't have an attribution), JSON must necessarily be S-expressions for the masses.
    There is at least one programming language whose programs are written as JSON forms.

    And "XML is a giant step in no direction at all" (Erik Naggum, as far as I know).
    And yes, there is at least one programming language whose programs are written as XML documents.

  5. CW: Technical - computer languages

    Quick question to the functional language people and W3c people here

    There’s SVG, which is an XML application

    What if there were SVG but not XML, instead, it was S-expressions?

    All of SVG as it currently is, but in S-expressions instead of XML

    Would there be a disadvantage?

  6. CW: Editing Linear S-Expressions

    I have been wanting for a while to edit linear #sexpressions in
    different contexts in #emacs. Some time ago I wrote a function using
    the separedit #elisp library and it has been so useful
    and so simple to write that I feel I have to share it!

    (so (if (you (have to (edit (linear (s- (expressions (maybe this)))))))))

    is interesting for you!
