For those who actually want their own language

<p>Overall, I like this; however, from a video game dev perspective, I am not sure about using the <code>semicolon standard</code> in a scripting language; semicolons regularly trip up professional programmers. and scripting languages are typically used by artists, level-designers, etc whose focus is not programming. Most video game scripting languages that I have encountered use <code>1 text line = 1 line of code</code> for this reason.</p>
