Hello,

For people coming from other languages is it possible to add a layer to make them more like some of the major languages. Something like: http://readable.sourceforge.net/http://www.dwheeler.com/readable/sweet-expressions.html

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

It is certainly possible to add such a layer. However you will quickly find
that all documentation, blogs, posts on the mailing list etc all
use the traditional notation. Therefore it will be more productive
not to use a syntax, which seems foreign to the locals.
