@avibryant@snoble FWIW I find Objective-C less readable than Smalltalk. But yeah, keywords allow subject-verb-object better than parens. -
@cputney@avibryant@snoble keywords work for verbs, prepositions, and conjunctions but fail for adverbs. -
@BrianTRice@cputney@avibryant strunk and white would say adverbs fail as words -
@snoble@cputney@avibryant FWIW, J's adverbs and conjunctions are intriguing: http://jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dictc.htm …
