It actually is homoiconic, except code is not just made of lists and atoms, but also of expressions, statements and some other stuff, which can all still be manipulated through macros, though I don't know how expressive those macros can be, compared to CL's.
It reminds me of tcl, except that it doesn't cyber with Canadians as much.

Curly braces (or ``faggot braces'') are the ugliest characters in the ascii character set. Why couldn't they have used curvy, sexy parens?

Because parens are used for grouping expressions, and since those expressions can contain have infix operators, it's either using (curly) braces for function/macro/special-form application or having the left paren come after the function/macro/special-form name.

They could have at least used square brackets, which don't require the shift key to type on non-gay keyboard layouts.

Are you suggesting that Norwegians have any kind of concept of doing things other than fucking women for hours and killing everyone else they find with their penises?

It kinda does, actually, because writing HTML in Curl's syntax and mixing it seamlessly with code seems to me a way better proposition than writing it in that eyesore of a syntax that SGML descendants have, and then having to use some crappy language unrelated language like Javascript to manipulate it.
