Is there a good reason to require `var`, `set`, and `call` keywords? BASIC doesn’t have those. From my (admittedly dim) memories starting programming as a kid, those keywords would have been an unnecessary complication.

For example in LOGO, you’d just write

    forward 10
    left 90
In comparison,

    call paint.forward(10)
    call paint.left(90)
seems excessive and noisy.
