JFYI, a very similar rant has been taking place on the Erlang list
recently. The top of the thread is here:
http://www.erlang.org/ml-archive/erlang-questions/200308/msg00141.html

Joe Armstrong also did yet another IPC protocol. I would summarise it
as "An XML clone that would not offend Lisp programmers". It has a lot
in common with sexps, though the encoded format doesn't look like one.
