    @jasper there are a number of advantage to using s-expressions. A couple of big ones for me are:

    Having a single syntax for logic and data. You can take any piece of code and transform it using the same language you're already using. I wrote about the benefits of that in detail here

    S-expressions also allow much better editors where you're manipulating blocks of logic as opposed to lines of code as seen here
