well, i wasn't going to go into it, but....i'll be brief:

function arguments are equivalent to arrays, hence

f(x, y, z) ==is like== f[x, y, z]

why do we have two structures for the same thing: () and []? a waste of
a deliminator!

following through with the idea, would it not be nice to do something
like:

f{a=>x, b=>y, c=>z}

though in my opinion {} should be for procs only, then we wouldn't need
to ever say Proc.new.

and the construct a => x. what is that really? should it not be its own
Class?

and other stuff like that.....
