A comment on Ask HN: LISPers, do you use homoiconicity (code-as-data)?.
Polynomials can be easily manipulated, such as taking a derivative, and the result is still valid executable code.
Macros use homoiconicity all the time, doing code walking and code expansion.
Functions can construct and return functions easily.
