Edit: Realized what I was tring to say: Intuitive might be the wrong thing to chase. Intuitive to who? :) Trivial programs are trivial. We might be stuck in the BCPL derived syntax that trade a false notion of intuitive for complexity of implentation and maintenance. (And I do mean might --- it's not hard not to think incrementally from the languages we know) --- but "inituitive" is EXACTLY the problem: I guess I was arguing we might consider searching for simple and predictable (even if that comes at the cost of slightly higher initial learning?)
