This is not lisp.

There are definately some old concepts here. I don't think the author has attempted to hide that fact. Lisp is a proof that everything boils down to macros. Problem is that Lisp is worse than reading assembler.

There are quite a few important points that need to be re-iterated and brought back into the attention of developers and researchers. One I believe is important is that syntax != language. Using a good editor like eclipse, idea, visual studio shouldn't mean that the source is saved as an ascii text file. Using a binary description that can interleave various concepts would create much more dynamic and expressive language interfaces.
