Also, why haven't we standardized a syntax yet? Seems like at this point we shouldn't be debating braces vs do/end vs indentation, and we should just settle.

That's... a non-sequitor? Syntax is interesting to discuss and think about it, but when I see "static typing and compile-time memory management", I want to jump right into knowing more about its implementatoin and usage. Does it use ref-counting? Is it embeddable like Lua? Does it have a VM or compile to machine code? etc.
