this link is incredibly frustrating. what is s-lang? what does it look like? is it a scripting language? declarative? imperative? some odd hybrid? what is it's expected use case? show me something! not some page that (links to other pages that) lethargically drudge through the rational of its design. this page does not immediately describe what this language actually is; it is a duck-typed C-like language, with fortran-ish style n-dimensional arrays, optional type specifiers, and some (seemingly unnecessary) subtle changes from C that seem to be placed solely as if to say "i am not C!". why is this on the front page? the documentation isn't exactly for new-comers (and i assume that most of us here would be). i haven't even found a "hello, world" example (although i could guess how it would look now). there seems to have been a lot of C hate on the front page recently, and whilst C does have its short-comings (some of which s-lang does attempt to address - although i am not well informed enough to say if it addresses them adequately), it's not that bad of a language. perhaps we are just doomed to not-invented-here syndrome, although i'm getting fed up of the myriad of bicycle alternatives that are presented, when the cyclist has an accident. don't interpret this as a critique on s-lang, only on this presentation of it.
