If you parse things with structure, and the structure is unknown in advance. In C(++) you have to generate all dynamically, and is very complex.

In other systems, you can just read the object, and the structure comes with it.

Javascript does that without lisp syntax. Not sure how helpful it is though, unknown structure is equivalent to no structure, an attempt to communicate without a protocol.
