Probably a more usable language would be arrived upon via some extensions to JSON. May I recommend OMetaJS? :)
The lack of a unique atomic symbolic literal as distinct from a string is one of the things I'm grappling with right now. To get that I'd need to intern the atoms. Jury's out whether it's a good idea to try to used JS typed arrays to implement the symbol interning or to use an under the hood "tag" on the string at the intermediate level to distinguish them (hidden from the programmer who just sees a Lisp alike.)
