Elixir, on the surface, is not homoiconic. However, the syntax on the surface is just a facade for the homoiconic structure underneath.
We want a language that’s homoiconic, with true macros like Lisp, but with obvious, familiar mathematical notation like Matlab.
Like Lisp, Julia represents its own code as a data structure of the language itself.
... the semantics are of the FPL (functional programming language) variety with stronger affinities with Lisp and APL. In particular, it allows “computing on the language”, which in turn makes it possible to write functions that take expressions as input, something that is often useful for statistical modeling and graphics.
Mathematica is [...] Homoiconic language (programs written in own data structures - Mathematica expressions. This is code-as-data paradigm, like Lisp which uses lists for this)
