I tend to agree. I'm interested in the concept, but the opening line seems to justify its need as a reaction to s-expression syntax in Lisp. Knowing nothing about that, I fear I'm going to miss the context of the whole article, and I also can't determine whether this is a straw man or not. And, as another commenter mentioned, it makes this whole thing feel like it's serving a very niche need. Which doesn't jive with the title, which is very generalized, and could be quite a compelling concept.
