I was merely having fun with some of expectations among the readers here for what Open Language might be used for.
Well, I'm glad you are having fun :P
Personally, I don't mind comma-delimited arguments, and am generally happy with any syntax that let's me get my work done.
Interesting - I suspect that other people might not be quite so 'on board' with your attitude towards the importance of English-like syntax to LiveCode (and xTalks in general).
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.
Unfortunately, language and features are intertwined. You can't have features without a way to access them, and a language with no features is useless.
