Oh!  Then why choose json (poor-man's-sexps?) over sexps?  I'm mostly
just using sexps with read and write, and pipe through json translators
when crossing the border to the javascript realm.

Here's a spoiler

    JavaScript's functions are first class objects with (mostly) lexical
    scoping.  JavaScript is the first lambda language to go
    mainstream. Deep down, JavaScript has more in common with Lisp and
    Scheme than with Java.  It is Lisp in C's clothing.  This makes
    JavaScript a remarkably powerful language.
