I think language syntax design these days should include the IDE. 
E.g. Dart's syntax is nothing special and not good at preventing 
bugs in itself, but the Dart syntax works very well when used 
with the Dart editor (based on Eclipse).

These days it probably is a mistake to design a language syntax 
without considering what kind of IDE design the language is 
supposed to be used with.
