I take it that you mean that rather than using cons-lists, you use trees? That's interesting, Guy Steele (IIRC) chastised the Lisp community for sticking with singly-linked lists for too long, when that kills concurrency among other things. I had always the had in mind that if I made a toy language, and decided to roll my own data structures, I'd just go with trees for everything: they are easily understood and rather predictable.
Either way, Symta ain't homoiconic, which is one of the defining features of Lisp. It's its own language, treat it with the respect a language deserves.
