I can't believe people are still creating languages with curly-brace syntax.

And also, what's the advantage of the language? Having to type "fn" 
instead of "function" or "def"? Having to type "iface" instead of 
"interface"? Just look at this:

fn mk_appender(suffix: str) -> fn@(str) -> str {
    let f = fn@(s: str) -> str { s + suffix };
    ret f;
}

YUCK!
