It's a very pretty language. It's Pascal if Pascal were made perfect. Because it seems amenable to Hindley-Milner Type Inference, if it had that, it would be perfect. Imagine having beginners program in a Pascal-like language without having to worry about typing out types!

Dunno. Not having to type types is a must have feature for a hacker's choice language. I'm no educator, but I think the case could be made that in a statically typed language, you'd want beginners to think about types.
I agree. I like it because it is mostly words, like lua, rather than symbols.
