Doesn't this apply to syntax as well?

[urbit]

It does. And the best I can say is that I'm genuinely interested in the results of my experiment.

It would certainly be an interesting practical experiment to try to adapt a conventional syntax to the same semantics, or even to discard Hoon and create a more conventional language targeting Nock (which Urbit would have no trouble running).
