Not really a big deal, i could change my mind if that's too difficult for me to
program.

It's much worse than a new syntax.
A whole new, entirely different programming paradigm to learn.
A whole new program semantic.
Almost any programming skill you have would vanish in planned obsolescence.
You would have to restart from scratch, using only modern math background.
When i say academic i really mean academic:
1. Most important notion is recurrence theorem
2. Another important notion is anonymous functions
3. As far as possible, loops and variable assignments are banned!
But i also said no elitism: the basic usage would have basic syntax.
I could even add a preprocessor for those who don't like the syntax.
A friend advised me it may be necessary to provide a preprocessor for smooth
transition to more powerful concepts that people don't intuitively master.
