I don't see why it's <condition> if <statement> and so on. Seems they want to be SVO just for the sake of it, and not because it's actually a good idea. For something that wants type safety like Scala, they don't seem to have put much thought into their type system which is pretty fundamental. Statements like point = Point x, y is confusing. Is it the same as Point (x), y? Respect either way however, not many people even get to this point with their own language.
