I totally agree. I loved that you could understand more or less the entire language's set of additions to C by reading one relatively short document.

JavaScript used to have the same appeal, before it started evolving. Despite the rough edges and some poor decisions, you could still grok the entire thing pretty quickly and appreciate how it works.

Of course, I have my own bias here, but it really did feel like they fit well together in Objective-J.
