> 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, ..). |

Every function and macro description in the HyperSpec has a "Syntax:" synopsis right at the top.
Section 2 of the standard is "Syntax".
