You're totally right to catch that — I’ll update it for clarity!

The idea was: W++ aims for a syntax that feels lightweight like Python (minimal boilerplate, indentation structure), but it also borrows C-style flow and expression flexibility. So technically it’s a bit of a hybrid:

Block structure + minimalism = inspired by Python

let, const, switch, and lambdas = more JS/C-style

I’ll clean up SYNTAX.md and the description to better reflect that. Appreciate you pointing it out!
