This makes so much sense! The other guy said they were planning an S-Expression language like Scheme... I think, had Netscape supported Scheme, the trajectory of the craft would change. At least we would not get so many 'durr parenthesis' memes. Just how hard is it to use [Neo]Vim when you're writing S-Expressions? it keeps highlighting the paranthesis and brackets balance as I write. What text editor do people who hate S-Expression LISP-like languages use, Emacs? Lol.
Emacs is written in lisp, so if people are going to die on the hill that they hate s expressions then I'm going to say no: they probably won't be using emacs
