LISP = Super-powered XML

Computing, Mathematics

I am fascinated by the programming language LISP, since it seems to me that it offers a better union of the concept of instructions and data.

Experience shows us that the shape of data often expresses an obvious algorithm for processing it, but most languages don’t try to take advantage of that.

LISP does.

This article says as much and is a good read.
