HN is not a public relations firm, it's a sharing and discussion forum. Notoriety for an immature idea might be an unwelcome side-effect of being discussed, but asking HN to refrain from discussing new PLs before they're "ready" seems odd to me. Now, as to your reasons for thinking that this particular PL is neither compelling nor enticing... I agree with you. Even if it were ready for prime time, as it were, some indication as to why this idea/approach/implementation piques the intellectual curiosity would be helpful.

Maybe I'm bad at communicating. I totally agree with your first paragraph. What I really meant by not ready is basically what you said in that very last sentence. This site basically says "new programming... Coming soon". Well that's not much to go on. There's so little information that there really isn't much to discuss. Dart is a work in progress but I think it's a great thing to submit here because it gives us all the information we'd need about a programming language. This is just a coming soon page for yet another language and all I can gather is that it's like acoffeeScript but for PHP?
