New essay: There Is No Alternative — why s-expressions are the only option

Systematic examination of XML, JSON, YAML, JSX, Tcl, Rebol, and Forth
against the six roles SX requires (markup, language, wire format, data
notation, spec language, metaprogramming). Comparison table across five
properties. Every candidate either fails requirements or converges
toward s-expressions under a different name.
