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.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
