Agreed. Apparently the combination of both a smiley face and a reference to having food thrown at me wasn't enough to clarify that I wasn't being serious with that wording.
I was merely having fun with some of expectations among the readers here for what Open Language might be used for.
Personally, I don't mind comma-delimited arguments, and am generally happy with any syntax that let's me get my work done.
I'm fine with whatever there's budget to provide to let folks explore novel syntax, even more so with your reminder here that Open Language is among the last of the enhancements in queue, long after being able to play a video file on Linux without crashing and other less glamorous but useful things.
