      I mention some of my criterion here https://twitter.com/deech/status/809883383815929857 … and https://twitter.com/deech/status/809883863384260612 … but I maybe misunderstanding you.

      composability of core ideas vs. ad-hoc constructs would try APL/Forth in a heartbeat.

      according to your criteria, is it relevant at all if a programming language required all names to be UUIDs?

      No, not a practical one that I am able to construct with my keyboard. I concede we're to some degree hamstrung by our input devices.

      what if our keyboards had a "construct uuid" button?

      What if we could see relationships instead of simple names. Have you checked out Prolog? Names aren't so useful there.

      If you can get a computer to build a graph for you and manipulate nodes, why not? Why must text be the lowest common denominator?

      so there is another tool that uses human-readable names?

          I see your point. I'm not saying names are irrelevant. Just hugely overemphasized to the point of eclipsing other possibilities.

          I can agree that semantics are often under-emphasized :)

          OK, so just to jump in briefly here, this was the point of my post: "syntax doesn't matter" is an overreaction…

          I in fact stated that "language == syntax" is a novice confusion…

          but syntax design is also an important part of language design, and should not be ignored.

          the best solution (to this & every problem) is to say that every part matters and then stress out constantly
