"Not planned

seriously ?! constructors and destructors are always needed for 
manual memory managment !


Otherwise there's something that's pretty in the syntax:

identifier : type = initializer; // straight declaration
identifier : type; // no init
identifier := initializer; // infered type



However later in the function declaration:

"sum := (x: float, y: float, z: float) -> float {
     return x + y + z;
};"

I would expect the same system as for variables:

"sum : float = (x: float, y: float, z: float) {
     return x + y + z;
};"

or return type inference:

"sum := (x: float, y: float, z: float) {
     return x + y + z;
};"
