Assuming you were
>>22 you were lumping in Lisp with BNF and regexp. The point is that Lisp is more analogous to a plain text file with lines that happen to have BNF code upon it, than BNF itself. In other words, it is a structured storage mechanism for which you could store anything you want.
Also, a metalanguage is by formal definition a language about a language. BNF and regexp can only pretty much do things like that. A
subset of XML (that Lisp doesn't have, remember,
austere) does this declaratively for that purpose through its SGML heritage. Lisp can store a metalanguage but none is specified in plain Lisp syntax, that's the job of the Lisp subfamily or implementations with actual form definitions.
Jap idiot
Lol
! You even made a new thread over this. I like the vigor.
