I think it's a terrible idea to adopt more arcane glyphs merely to keep code more terse. Just because code is short doesn't mean it's readable. If anything, I think programming languages should use less arcane glyphs. Not to mention it would be annoying and uncomfortable to memorize how to enter those arcane glyphs with our current keyboards. I also think it's a terrible idea to use color. Not only are a lot of people color blind, but what happens if you need to print your source code on a black and white laser printer? Those are still heavily used. I don't think the author of the article thought these issues through very carefully.
