Thanks for the reply! I read the "[1]" link you posted, and the word "homoiconic" doesn't appear anywhere. Elixir code and data share the same native data structures, ergo Elixir is homoiconic. Virding's point is that Elixir lacks reader macros. For real-world usage, I consider that more of a strength than a weakness. :)
