Thanks for your input. I disagree with a lot of Hacker News on syntax though. Syntax can be learned and is not a hurdle for anyone who is seriously into programming, but I believe it keeps people away from programming who would be interested otherwise. I also think that readability is more important than writeability since maintenance is so important with any big project, and syntax is a piece of readability (though only a piece). I agree other things beyond syntax are more important though, but I think I have enough interesting pieces of ideas that I want to put them all together and see what the big picture looks like. Perhaps it will stay a toy language, or perhaps it will grow beyond it. Some of those ideas I haven't written down here either. One in particular that gives it hope for evolving beyond a toy language is a way to write small wrappers around C code to link it into Kitten code, so with a small amount of effort all of the impressive Microsoft libraries should be accessible for Windows computers at least. I'll have to check out Scala, I don't know much about it. Also a couple languages I am really interested in right now are Nim and Crystal, a lot of my ideas share a lot with those two newer languages, a more static-y compile to C language than most newer languages.
