M-expression: Further development, Implementations & Background

In Lisp programming language, M-expressions (or meta-expressions) were an early proposed syntax for the Lisp, inspired by contemporary languages such as Fortran and ALGOL. The notation was never implemented into the language and, as such, it was never finalized.
