On the other hand there's something to be said for terseness. Ever read a math or CS paper that's full of equations and other graphical shorthand? To the uninitiated, it's gibberish. Once you learn the conventions, it's a way to communicate complex formal ideas with very concise notation.
I'm not saying this language does a good job at that, but to dismiss something interesting just because of syntax prejudice is shortsighted.
