I just wonder why can't hackers write homoiconic (if thats the word), languages that get array tokens and provide results like so. I often wonder what if sqlite was also designed to have its statements like ('select '* 'from 'table), it would also had been better for third part libraries, to implement their orms.

Since all of this (byte coding) (AST) is done by almost many programming languages I ever explored (Python,Ruby, lua, ...). It would have been awesome, if they were easily parse-able I guess.

Most of the ORM implementations are very error prone to those design decisions. (Especially SQL databases).
