Much thought has been given to provide a solid and extensible language that really makes sense. The implicit context and polymorphism it incorporates makes creating reusable code much easier. The Hobo User's Group has also been phenomenal in responding, incorporating, and providing excellent critique. It is really the first time I have experienced such a quality level of communication in a support group community. And I really appreciated the fact that my novice questions were not met with disdain.
