Hm. Then I believe you haven't read the whole thing. (That's ok, it does go
on for a while.) Yes, much of the appeal is in the shorter syntax. But some
of the features proposed even require that no 'tuple' keyword is used.

Looking like C is not the be-all and end-all of programming languages. Mist
tries to follow mathematical notation wherever possible. This has had other
implications, like using <- for assignment and = for equality.
