Interesting, Timothy, but a little verbose. That is where good syntax
highlighting would be useful. Maybe have multiple syntaxes like Ruby?
For example, in Ruby:
# C-like language users will prefer this
Shoes.app() {
para("HAI!")
}
# Smalltalk, Ada, Pascal, etc. will like this
Shoes.app do
para "HAI!"
end
Both do the exact same thing, but look quite different.
