The easier it is to write *a* parser/analyzer for the language in any other programming language, the more tools you will get for a broader range of runtime environments, particularly constrained environments like editors that may not be extensible at all.
Seems to me that having a bit more punctuation in the language would make it easier for things like editors that don't have sophisticated parsing abilities to do a better job of syntax highlighting. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
