maradyddDear all developers who are considering writing a language with a "more English-like syntax" because it'll make it easier for people to learn,
Don't. Seriously. Or I will find you and kill you by cramming your own design notes down your throat. (If your design notes are all in your head, I will cram your brains down your throat. Simple enough.)
Any language which purports to be "English-like" but gives totally different semantics to contains and in needs to be put down like Old Yeller.
Also, having a type system doesn't mean we don't need type introspection. Death on toast to whoever came up with that little omission.
That is all.
