Hi Nicolas, here are some thoughts, in no particular order.
I'm not sure about the difference between member variables and parameters, which have to be fully typed and local variables, which can be derived. Normally i'm either in one or the other mode (of mind), depending on the language i'm using. Mixing modes seems strange to me. I like the idea of beeing able to extend the language itself, like it is possible in Lisp. I know it's a broad term, and i don't have a concrete use case at hand, simply like the idea to extend the language without having to write a compiler. Closures, like in JavaScript or AS - an absolute must, i like them better than anonymous classes. The enumerators are nice. Similar to c#, if i remember correctly. Have you seen the articles about Linq? Beeing able to search through arrays, XML and sql databases in the same way looks great. Cheers, Ralf.
