I really wish more help from human-computer interaction & cognitive psychologists would be used to design a programming language.
The programming language is (to me) the most expensive part of a system, because it determines how the coder works & interacts with the system. And the human resources involved in building the system are the most expensive (besides those used to maintain and run it daily).
There must be symbols used to write code that are more easy to cognitively process than others. There must be keywords that are easier to memorize than others. There must be ways to write a statement that are less prone to error than others. Let's start working on this important and neglected problem.
