[WikiEN-l] MediaWiki is getting a new programming language

[wjhonson at aol.com]

 My entire point Neil was simply that, "short-time-to-learn" should also be a consideration.? To me, a language that borrows heavily from an *already known* source like English or even BASIC is easier to learn, than one which requires that every command be learned again without any prior foundation.? I am not a subscriber to tech.? I don't think I want to be.

Do you have a concrete example of the alternative language, or 
alternative syntax for the existing language, that you are proposing as 
an alternative to the current state of affairs?

If so, could you please post it to wikitech-l?
