JSON is a 4 letter name too! Could replace LISP with it.
An article that shows almost exactly that: https://stopa.io/post/265

JSON isn't a programming language
That isn't true obviously. It's like saying lists aren't a programming language.
It isn’t in itself. Neither is any AST. A programming language is the semantic rules that can execute it.
Until it is.

From the guy who created JSON:
>JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format.
From Wikipedia:
>JSON is an open standard file format and data interchange format
Now tell me how JSON is a programming language.
I might be thinking of JSOLN. Let's talk about that instead.
hahaha this is incredible

Thanks for sharing!
I only clicked on the comments to find out if anyone had posted this. It is also a favorite of mine and I don't even really write in Lisp! Though it has actually inspired me to start using emacs and fiddle with elisp and CL a bit.

For God wrote in Lisp code
When he filled the leaves with green.
The fractal flowers and recursive roots:
The most lovely hack I’ve seen.
And when I ponder snowflakes, never finding two the same,
I know God likes a language with its own four-letter name.
