Not many people realise this, but Hanibal's dad Hamilcar Barca had a lisp, and used his knowledge of abstract syntax trees and delayed execution to deforest parts of the Himalayas in order to let his elephant of a son through.

The plural for said zealots'd be Cartholth? (singular: Carthole)

Funny thing, Lisp structures are converted pretty easily to xml/html, so of course there are packages for Lisp varieties allowing one to write html in Lisp. (Similar to Pug, but with parentheses.)

yes, xml came from SGML which has influences from lisp, lisp can be used to represent xml 1 to 1 they have the same data model
