I object to this proposed change.  Lack of knowledge of a
language's syntax does not justify changing the syntax.


I could not agree more with Kevin. Adding a feature, such as adding in more
intricate math functions, or add in tcp/ip socket support, etc. is more
fruitful than making the language syntax more like others just because
someone is not used to it... What if someone who is used to COBOL comes
along and ask if the syntax can look more like COBOL.  This will really just
make the language more convoluted... Let alone the compilation may very well
be longer because the parser has to understand all different grammar ...
