Thanks it's great to hear from someone that makes the tools I use everyday.

> My personal opinion is that everyone should just use s-expressions. Get rid of this whole debate :P

C# 8 maybe?

The "best" part about project Roslyn is that if someone wanted to make an s-expression frontend, they could plug that into the compiler.
Untyped S-Expressions would be taking a step back from a C# perspective.
I don't see how s-expressions are inheritently less "typed" than utf-8 text?

Have a compiler target dialect that expects "(int 5)" and "(int x)" have a type-inference step that target such "typed" s-expressions?
