Fantastic response :) My comments got a bit long winded so I posted them to my blog.

Here’s the last paragraph:

I’m very interested in any languages/dialects that implement the power of Lisp with less noise. I’m sure it’s possible, but it just hasn’t been “discovered” yet. On the other hand, perhaps it’s not. Perhaps the endless, nested, streams of braces and symbols are the purest representation of code. Like logic DNA.
