/prog/ - ITT: Homoiconic Languages

Lets list and discuss homoiconic languages: where code is represented in the language's natural data type and as such can be directly manipulated just like any other kind of data in the program:

1. newLiSP
2. Io Language

NOT SO FAST SCHEME AND COMMON LISP

io is pretty snazzy, but it's currently taking a do-over

Stranger 2: no

Stranger 1: is this about sopa again

Stranger 2: idk know what it is ...

Stranger 1: you know that thing where youtube removes a video?

Stranger 1: congress is making it a law for hte government to do the same....on any website

You're now watching two strangers discuss your question!
Question to discuss:
Object-oriented programming is shit. It takes a perfectly valid approach to some simple problems, pretends it is a “silver bullet” and it poisons the mind and the computer with bloat like inheritance.

Stranger 2: yeah!!!
Stranger 2: I didn't learn that but I'm going too sadly...
Stranger 2: school obligation
Stranger 1: sucks

Oh I'm sure they are, but scheme and CL sucks harder in this regard.

Logo. The turtle graphics language.

No, seriously. The functions themselves can be treated as character / list data and copied, modified, renamed, etc, dynamically.

mfw I realize scheme and common lisp is NOT a homoiconic language after all, despite all the morons claiming it is... THANK YOU OP!

You could make a S-exp-based C supported by a Lisp-like macro processor with high-level functions unusable from C. No program other than a Lisp implementation actually constructs a parse tree at runtime and eval it; they use functional magic instead of source code manipulation.
Homoiconicity is useless apart from permitting code sharing between run-time and compile-time.

Homoiconicity is useless until your code is also your macro expansion code
