Not only that. S-expr could be created automatically and run on the fly at runtime, new configurations could be added without restart of services, and Lisp has a well known powerful macro system. That way also "Python-ized" configs could be translated into s-expr easily. Such Lisp based configs could be run in a C embedded Lisp interpreter.

However, the FreeBSD team should at least seriously consider a new neutral logo. I wonder what BSD Unix has to do with the devil.

It's not a devil, it's a Daemon. Like, Unix daemons (httpd, ftpd etc.)

An evil daemon is worse than the devil (sarcasm)

edit: paren'd

edit 2: been using bsd and linux for servers for the past 10 years, love both of them for different reasons.

This is the first time I've seen anyone comment on the FreeBSD logo like that. I thought it was hilarious

You "BSD devil" trolls are really not putting in much effort.
why, the goal and purpose of the FreeBSD Unix is to agitate 1600s-style cavemen of course.
