It seems to have kept a lot of good things from python, but fixes many quirks: - slicing with index or with index+length ? Well, both apparently! - len() is a method - ranges and slices have the same syntax - you can use | to avoid the indentation hell that comes with ''' - true, false and none don't have an upper case first letter - the lambda design allow for multi lines, despite the language being heavily biased toward statements. And it's using "=>". - circular imports do not cause errors - explicit export, although i'd prefer it to be opt in - lua style ffi - mapping on dict key/values is the simple case - CYON is quite interesting - and of course concurrency and perf from the start But some of them will cause big troubles: "errors are values and do not propogate up the call stack by default. Users are not forced to handle errors unless the error value is passed to a typed destination." Yeah, silent errors in bash scripting taught me I really don't want that. "The shorthand method for calling functions omits parentheses and commas" The reason I still can't parse Ruby after 15 years.
