>...because they are easier to parse by the human brain. You keep saying that, and I don't think I agree. They may be easier to parse for western culture due to the hundreds of years of our brains being presented with data in that format. What's to say that s-expressions wouldn't be easier to understand given enough practice?
Look at LISP in general....for the beginner it looks like a mess of unreadable parentheses. But talk to any LISP programmer, and they will tell you that they don't even notice them any more. I know I don't. One could say "base 10 numbers are easier for the human mind to understand". But the truth is, if we were taught hexadecimal from birth, we probably wouldn't have any issue multiplying 0xFF and 0x03. I think you underestimate how adaptable the human mind really is.
