Who wants Rev to be as user-friendly as C?

I'm afraid that's impossible, Judy: one would have to--


* "dumb down" the Rev Dev UI,

* completely rewrite Transcript to make the syntax as succinct as possible

* "power down" the syntax so it takes half a page of code to accomplish what could previously be done in one line

* add support for line end characters (eg: ";") which completely change the meaning of a statement when appended to it.

* place programmer's premium on how complicated a command can be produced in a minimal token string, preferably incorporating the line end character mentioned above & other "C cleverness" to impress one's colleagues with the ultimate undecipherable, cryptic statement.
