Re:Why Lisp is a Big Hack and Haskell is Doomed to Succeed (... by mcv on Monday March 31, 2014 @10:42AM (#7501720)
But everybody defining their own syntax would not make a language "the perfect language". Quite the opposite, because nobody would be able to understand each other's code anymore. It would be the ultimate fragmented language.

And because of that, I don't think a perfect language is even theoretically possible. Everybody has their own syntactical preferences, and allowing all of them means fragmentation.
