Hm. You make this sound attractive; I've been messing about with PLT Scheme for a few months and will check out newLisp to see how they differ. That said, I need to disagree with you on one point: > I realized that it was syntax that was at the root of most programming errors. No. You're using the word wrong. Syntax is the structure of a language--e.g., curly braces vs whitespace vs parens vs etc to set scope. Syntax is trivial and can be caught by the compiler / interpreter. The root of most programming errors is a logic fault--i.e., the programmer is either solving the right problem incorrectly (didn't think it through or didn't understand it) or is solving the wrong problem (incorrect / out of date / misunderstood requirements).
