It seems they're trying to design a programming language based on usability studies in academic literature?

These feels like a terrible idea. Language designer now equals literature reviewer. But who knows, maybe they'll come up with something good?

Some sample code:

  text dna = "GATTACA"
  text msg = "Welcome to " + dna
  output msg

Unfortunately the interpreter at [0] isn't working ("Error: Could not connect to server:")

EDIT: fix code formatting

Err, so if `type expr` is a variable declaration and `function expr` is a function call, how are you supposed to tell the difference between them?

[pc2g4d]

Perhaps by the limited vocabulary from which `type` can be drawn, i.e. don't name your function `text` ?

It doesn't have user-defined types?!
