alt Hacker NewsI don't think many people would start to use a language unless the found the syntax at least a little simpatico - but I guess they could be drawn by the semantics it provides.

I mostly chose languages due to semantics.
I (almost) don't consider syntax at all when considering a language, just whether it's suitable for the task.
The exception is languages with syntax that require a non-standard keyboard.
