I know :) And that's cool, and that property is the base of my own programming language. I am also trying right now to find some explanation why it's cool based on some fundamental conclusions from theoretic computer science... I just feel that when someone says that Lisp does not have syntax or that syntax is not important, it's plain wrong... |

I completely agree. I just feel that not every programming language needs to have the same approach to syntax. Lisp is different from most languages in its way to have a data syntax in which programs are written. Thus the data syntax is textual (s-expressions) and the program syntax is structural (based on data structures like lists, symbols, numbers, ..).
