So overall this is an interesting take on Javascript. I like that much of it gets precompiled away (constants, etc). I'm not so fond of "&" being string concatenation. I like Perl6's "_" better, it reads well. Also:

> || - or, can no longer be used with and unless one group is in parentheses

Seriously? Do you require the "+" and "" operators to have parentheses around them? Why do people think order of operations is hard with "and" and "or"? I really* don't get it (and always turn off compiler warnings about that when working with C).

Also, "ownskey" is a bit of a mouthful. Why not ".?" ("?." would be "get key if object isn't null")?
