Discussion How Io language is Homoiconic? It's being mentioned that Io language is homoiconic.To me homoiconic means "Expressing the language in the data-structure of the same langage" . For exp, LISP, is all LISP list.I'm trying to understand Io is homoiconic?Though I can see that the Io programs are objects and message, a given statement is not a data-structure of the language per se.For example, can someone explain how this statement is homoiconic,``` Number / := method (i, if (i != 0, self origDiv(i), 0) )``` 1 points kannangce 3 years ago 1 comments

I'm trying to understand Io is homoiconic?
Though I can see that the Io programs are objects and message, a given statement is not a data-structure of the language per se.
For example, can someone explain how this statement is homoiconic,
``` Number / := method (i, if (i != 0, self origDiv(i), 0) )
```
