perl 6

Also via /., Larry Wall's ALS talk on Perl 6: A natural language you learn it once, and you use it many times. So you should optimize for expressiveness, not for learnability. I think somebody had told that to the Japanese before they designed their language, and I wish their language was a little easier to learn.
