The most ridiculous statement I've seen on this newsgroup.  It rather 
causes the reader to question the qualifications of the author on
any aspect of language design or implementation.

And I've written quite a few language parsers with lex/yacc, some of
which have syntax as horrid as the one Herman proposed.   It doesn't 
require much effort to slop together a language for a temporary project.
