You are claiming I made an assertion that I did not make.  S-expressions allow for easy syntactic abstraction, as do other homoiconic syntaxes.  I <i>did not</i> claim that it was the only possible thing that allows syntactic abstraction.  I am aware of Julia&#x27;s syntax, and I still much prefer the regularity of s-expressions.  What you call weirdness, I call a feature.
