That will be very intersting! I use s-expr myself in my 'over HTTP API' 
with a safe as possible 'read' procedure (based on parser combinators). 
Anyway, anything DSL is good to take for me, as I think there is much to be 
learned.

A tutorial on syntax parser will be very welcome!

What do you mean by load balancing? HAProxy or something like that doesn't 
work?

Can you be more precise. Server rendering in s-expr based languages is a 
blast. 
It's very nice because XML in s-expr feels very natural. Compare that to 
JavaScript
via babeljs, even Python is tried and is trying to do it (ask me for 
references if you want).

I will be very glad if you could share more about that. I am (web) backend
