I'll play Devil's Advocate.
There seems to be some assumptions about what is easier for a child.
One of these assumptions is that a "simple English-like syntax" is
simpler than other kinds of syntax. I wonder if that is not an adult
prejudice.
Compare these two ways of representing properties:
the text of me
me.text
I'd argue that the second is more visually representative of what we
are trying to express. The dot becomes a "joining symbol" which is
more easily remembered than the strange syntax of space + of + space.
And what on earth is "the" all about?
Perhaps I'm saying that Rev is a great language for old people to take
up. :-)
Cheers
