No. There is a good github gist rant I can’t find anymore, but if we call every AST in the form of s-expressions lisp, then is anything lisp? A programming language has to have an associated evaluation strategy, otherwise it’s just data. What you wrote only makes sense to execute as C code, which sure you can write a compiler for in your given lisp as well (so can you write a C compiler taking C AST in any other language, so it’s not special at all).
This one? https://gist.github.com/no-defun-allowed/4f0a06e17b3ce74c6ae...
It also responds to a few parents up "almost all of the innovations in lisp [...] have been absorbed into more popular languages" - pervasive interactivity hasn't even been taken up by some "Lisps", let alone has it been absorbed outside Lisp.
Yes! Thanks for digging it up for me! I can’t find anything on google for the life of me since they switched to vector search, even though I used to be able to find some obscure blog post..
