Do you perhaps mean syntax rather than structure? (Or a subset of the syntax.)

If I've guessed correctly, that language has already been wedged into lots of places that it's a poor fit, so I guess there's precedent there.

I am pretty sure Lisp was wedged into some places where it is a poor fit, but “lots”? Did you guess Javascript by any chance?

I did guess Javascript, as it happens.

Was I wrong? If it was meant to be a reference to Lisp, I take much of it back.

The parent was most likely referring to lisp, but note that there are other homoiconic [1] languages.
