Or conversely, would people new to coding find htalk easy and intuitive? These are two different questions and a rigorous answer will most likely not come from knowledgeable livecode programmers.
Speaking as a university lecturer who teaches LC to graphic design students from time to time, I can absolutely attest to the benefits of the 'English-like' qualities of xTalk. They get it, they can work things out, they can use it to create *their own* basic tools and toys, and this after just one afternoon.
It's imperfect... but hell, even *English* could be described as being just English-*like* if you want to go down that debating rabbit hole! The point is it's *so* much easier than traditional languages for people to grok. That's one of LC's USPs.
