Swift seems really cool! I'd like to check it out at some point, but they don't distribute Windows binaries, and I'm too lazy to compile from source... Eventually, though :p
Christopher Durham left a really interesting comment on my previous thread, explaining how Swift handles expressions-as-statements without creating syntax ambiguities. If I'm reading it right, they add a little bit of whitespace significance around operators to make it unambiguous whether they're infix, prefix or suffix. Another really clever solution to this problem :)
