I would like to just interject that Hermes is a strongly-typed,
powerful, high-level modular infix distributed programming language
that has "program" as a built-in data type.  All of what *I've* seen
Lisp do with programs could be done as easily with Hermes programs.
You can even pass them around, store them in libraries, and so on.
Check it out. It's neet. :-)

Now, if only you could write a constant of any type, we'd be in great shape.
