Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm moving this discussion out of the original thread and I'll split my reply into two parts, so the original thread can stay clean.

I'm just wondering how you can allow for, say, Smalltalk-like syntax and at the same time for Python-like syntax. I mean, you can't naturally translate a Python function into Smalltalk or the other way around, so will a language never be able to share code (I was thinking of something like .NET)? What will "the system" be? Just a language generator? > > * increased productivity (20K lines of code) > > Increased productivity, I think, is not a real goal.

Hmm, I'm not sure how to interpret this. So, you want to have a more concise and easier to understand description of an application?
