God wrote in Lisp, Bob Kanefsky performed by Julia Ecklar. My favorite song.

For God wrote in Lisp code

When he filled the leaves with green.

The fractal flowers and recursive roots:

The most lovely hack I’ve seen.

And when I ponder snowflakes, never finding two the same,

I know God likes a language with its own four-letter name.

I only clicked on the comments to find out if anyone had posted this. It is also a favorite of mine and I don't even really write in Lisp! Though it has actually inspired me to start using emacs and fiddle with elisp and CL a bit.

JSON is a 4 letter name too! Could replace LISP with it.

An article that shows almost exactly that: https://stopa.io/post/265

JSON isn't a programming language

[koolala]

That isn't true obviously. It's like saying lists aren't a programming language.

[assimpleaspossi]

From the guy who created JSON:

>JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format.

From Wikipedia:

>JSON is an open standard file format and data interchange format

Now tell me how JSON is a programming language.

[koolala]

I might be thinking of JSOLN. Let's talk about that instead.

[kaba0]

It isn’t in itself. Neither is any AST. A programming language is the semantic rules that can execute it.

[koolala]

Until it is.
