It requires trees, hence it follows the reader; but it has constructs the parser may not know about and, more to the point, *does not need to* know about. So you can have all these extensions without having to change the core AST.</p><p>In practice, some Lisps have sufficiently complex macro systems that you have to interleave expansion and parsing: e.g., if a macro can ask questions like "is this variable bound".</p>

It's particularly confusing because there are so many potential similarities between the two Enso's! (And funnily, I don't know any other tool called Luna, though they must be several.)</p>

<p>Weapons from a more civilized age.</p><p>In the late 80s, PL and DB really embraced at Brown: both Zdonik and Kanellakis chaired DBPL. Plus on the OO side: Zdonik ⭢ OODBs, Wegner ⭢ Cardelli-Wegner, William Cook ⭢ modern OO theory! Will was always influenced by that DBPL vision.</p>
