Good info dump. Can't image S-Expressions in web dev today really. Also, I did not mean it maliciously, this is a stupid thing after all.
To be honest, XML can be considered to just be a more verbose version of s-expressions. It is easy to convert between XML and SXML.
Verbose and ugly! Btw, check out this S-Expression parser in C I wrote several months back: https://gist.github.com/Chubek/d2f0ac9067521716d2ab31c93948e885
It's truly *easy to parse them!
No biggie! The birth of JS is told in numerous different places (and ways) on the net, if you’re curious you should definitely look it up.
