isolating the syntax from the other features of the language is a like removing a part from a rocket engine however small it may be and wondering if it will lift off without it.
Macros are the first thing you may think of related to syntax change I am convinced that other areas benefit from the syntax. It's early here and without caffein I will not even attempt to make a list.. Who would choose a tool based on its syntax alone ? A tool = feature set = more or less productivity. We're not in a grocery store choosing between a banana and a cauliflower based on their respective color to accompany a steak. Banana + steak ? Wow... maybe some chef tried it or will but personally I pass, as good looking as the banana might be :) It's like emacs to me (joking here guys :) Your poll has only two questions, I would have added at least a third one, how many programming languages have you been using at work ? Maybe a fourth one, for how many years have you been programming ? How much weight does the first answer have if you do not assess the comparison basis of people answering the first question ? I would probably drop the second one. A pool looks like a simple tool but it's hard work to put together questions to get meaningful data.
