So, I regret posting this... sarcasm isn't even my style, and I don't like to be negative. But I do think the approach is wrong... I just don't believe you can make a language easy to learn by shoe-horning a "familiar" syntax onto strange new semantics. And you're not likely to create an expressive, concise and readable language that way. The motivations behind this language are interesting to me... a strongly-typed functional language focused on cross-platform GUIs could certainly have its niche. That's why it made me sad to see the approach to syntax they decided to take.

It really works, since we've hired many people, which obviously were not familiar with Flow. I came myself as c-family programmer. It took about 3,5 weeks for me to learn the language itself and be introduced to some inner techs, such as UI and parser(we have a bunch of exercises for these purposes).
