Interesting example. Now I maybe understand a little what is meant with everything being a string. Before, I didn't quite know the catch. Rebol went the opposite way for somewhat similar effect. It famously had (I think) 37 datatypes and a lot of them were also syntax types, like email, url, IP also I think. So your example could be something like this in Rebol: ifup/ip 'eth0 192.168.2.53 In Rye it's similar.
