Yeah futile like applescript - who ever used that. Or hypertalk, or wolfram alpha or even the google search engine - nobody can figure out how to use those.

The best way for people to learn programming is with pure non-alphanumeric symbols, just like people speak on Twitter.

COBOL attempts this (the syntax is even written out in "sentences") and it suffers for it. Even if it wasn't a futile effort, is it worthwhile?

edit This post is not intended to suggest the language in the topic article in not worthwhile..
