What I just said is why Julia people don’t tend to call it homoiconic or dependantly typed. It lead to so many semantic arguments that most just talk about actual features such as macros and various multiple dispatch features instead of using words like homoiconicity and dependant typing.

"macros" are unfortunately used by C and lisp to describe two different things, and both usages are as widely popular as their parent languages (i.e. very).
