There are well established syntactic standards in almost every other
language in the world.  It involves using brackets for arrays. Makes
scanning down the page visually much easier.  Naming standards be

Ah... Perhaps because we don't want to force a honking huge runtime

with the language?  Maybe because we don't like the Forms-Based design
that the IDE makes so darn condusive?
