This isn't a problem. Compare how successful 
C/C++/Java/C#/PHP/Javascript/Go/Objective-C/ActionScript are compared to 
languages with « quite concise » syntax. This is a no match.

This style has proven to be readable, convenient and many programmers 
are used to it. If you want to change that, you don't only need to prove 
that another syntax is better, but also that it is THAT MUCH BETTER that 
changing what everybody is used worth it. This sounds difficult to me.
