What I meant was: programs written in s-exprs makes it possible to
accomodate new paradigms because, ultimately, everything is a list,
which you can parse to accomodate your new paradigm. Programs not
written in s-exprs require extra syntax to be bolted onto the
language.

But I suppose, if you want, to argue that all Turing Complete
languages are equivalent, so they support all the paradigms that the
others support.
