I was wondering if the one-block limit bothered anyone else. Maybe something like Haskell's where clause: map(foo, pairs) where: pairs = [(0,1), (20, 10), (30, 10)] def foo(pair): a = pair[1] * 2 b = pair[0] * a

You're right, of course. But there are a lot of people who use this kind of software that don't actually need to, and who would probably be better off using other options. Also, I don't think that licensing costs hurt my point; by using fr

What about LÖVE? http://love2d.org/ It's really easy to program for; Lua is a language you can pick up without much effort. It's reasonably fast and built upon a few fairly ubiquitous libraries. Game distribution is easy (zip and cha

I assume you mean that syntax is less important than other language features, and I mostly agree. However, while there are of course many variations of syntax on the same basic set of features, some variations are better than others. It m
