You may not be the target, but that does not invalidate that point. My personal view of the what is and isn't hidden behavior is definitely something that will rub a LOT of people the wrong way. That being said though, this project has grown out of the scope of "fun personal toy" and is intended to be embraced by other developers. If those developers don't want to use the language, then that could be viewed as a fault of the language.

This entire system was designed by ONLY myself up to this point, so I've effectively had blinders on the entire time. I personally like the drastic simplicity of the language, but if it gets in the way of the majority of the users who want to work with the language, then at a very minimum, a conversation should be had about the pain points. Finding that balance between being appropriately hard-headed and willing to adopt features I may not have originally intended to adopt is a difficult line to balance on.
