If Lisp is the Maxwell's Equations, what is the Heaviside language?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Heaviside



Heaviside promoted Maxwell's equations and created clearer, simpler versions of them. So I think it would be a language that uses list processing and functional concepts as a feature of a syntax that is easier for beginners. Something like Python or JavaScript.


Reminds me of Peter Norvig's sketch of Lisp in Python: https://norvig.com/lispy.html
