poll: syntaxImagine: You take part in a competition to design the syntax of a programming language for people who have never programmed anything before (short-term goal!), but are about to become professional programmers for the rest of their lives (long-term goal!). You want to win the competition, so be realistic. Don't mention your favorite language just because *you* like it, but because you think that it's highly user-friendly for newbies and that it scales enough as experience grows. 1. What type of syntax should this programming language have?
2. Do you think it's important to respect math precedence? Please focus on the answers and don't add more than a short note to your reply, if at all. Put your answer at the top. This will help me evaluate the result. In case most people choose "Other" as the best syntax I'll start another discussion about what it should look like.
