> Maybe the answer is to partner LLMs with Common Lisp or Scheme ...

That LLMs proved to everyone that piping programs at the CLI was indeed the one true way to do things was already quite delicious.

If now LLMs were to then make the world move to Lisp would really be the icing on the cake.

I'm all for it!

In terms of token and attention efficiency, lisp's syntax is actually not quite optimal. Ironically, something like xml where you can munge the delimiters together with the tag as a single token for common cases (e.g. '<tr>' and '</tr>' vs '(' 'xyz' ')') is better.
