What we really need isn't more syntax, it's core features like threads, operator overloading, a large std library, some real form of serialization (JSON doesn't come close to counting), etc.
Or even more basic things like "a date/time implementation that isn't a horror show" or "\w that behaves like \w in every single other regex implementation out there when the unicode flag is on".
How is operation overloading a core feature and not more syntax?
I like the infix proposal better. Operation overloading has a larger degree of obfuscation.
