Homoiconicity is perhaps the deepest and most fundamental property
of a computer language -- one that can be attributed to bring forth
the most adaptability and or life resemblance.

Perhaps it is best understood in the form of a pattern language.

Does anyone know an existing pattern language for Homoiconicity?
