Thoughts and Rationale

This isn't a comprehensive language design, it's just ideas for syntactical constructs I'd really like to see some day. It'd probably be some kind of object/functional hybrid a la Scala - I really like the recent trend of "post-functional" languages that take a lot of ideas/influence from functional programming, but aren't fascist about it, or so scary that only math Ph.Ds can learn them. The idea is to fuse OOP and FP into a language which gives you a high level of expressiveness and power, but is actually useable for Getting Real Things Done.
