Functional programming, macros, DSLs, an object system with proper support for multimethods as well as some form of continuations. What else could you possibly want? Oh right, some fucking syntax would be nice.

If you hate a language just because of the syntax, you're a fucking moron.

The problem is that it doesn't even have a syntax I could hate. It's just a raw fucking AST tree.

Every proggraming language can/needs to generate an AST Tree while being parsed. Don't be an asshole.

Of course, because other programming languages are designed with convenience and readability in mind, so they make use of a compiler to generate the AST instead of forcing the developer to do it by hand. Why do they do that? Because the AST is a normalized form, so it lacks the usual visual cues. Come on.

macros
syntax

nope. never, ever works.

Perhaps Lispers just weren't smart enough to reconcile the two. Or it's just you.

no. the problem is inherent. Every bit of syntax is syntax that the programmer has to "undo" in his head while writing the macro.

It doesn't work well without homoiconicity. If you modify the AST, you've successfully reinvented Lisp macros, minus the simplicity: now you have ~~two problems~~to know the syntax and its tree. Good luck with your

Expression expression = new AddExpression(new NumberExpression(2), new MinusExpression(new NumberExpression(3), new NumberExpression(1)));
