It's a very promising language, and the tutorial's not bad. The main quirk I see right now is that the syntax feels more like a shuffling of characters, rather than actually simplifying anything. For instance, they save parentheses in for loops (great idea!), yet suddenly I need a useless "func" before every function. It also seems like there needs to be a default type for arguments, either "int" or "string", for it to feel truly simplified. A feature I would really, really like to see in a language is the notion of automatically printing lone strings, or automatically printf()-ing lone string format lists. It's a little irritating after all this time that one must "echo" or "print" or System.out.println() or fmf.Printf() everything (much less import standard libraries to do it), when it is such a common task.
