The Next Big Language

Steve Yegge blogged about The Next Big Language. (Yeah, yeah. I’m behind on my Google Reader reading and on finishing draft blog posts.) I wonder if anyone has ever grafted C-ish syntax onto Common Lisp—along with some prettifying of it’s libraries. Kind of like Dylan, but with syntax closer to C than to ALGOL. I’m not sure it’s a great idea, but it seems like such a thing would attract some attention.
