I would like to congratulate Mr. Partain on this visionary proposal.
The time is right for such a language.  I was particularly excited by
the FWIM syntax but I would like to go even further and suggest that
we consider including support for dc syntax[1].  This often-neglected
language represents a significant advance on Perl's philosophy of
maximum bang-per-byte of source code and yet is often easier to
understand than the equivalent program written in Haskell with monads.
