It would be nice to not name your language after another language. (Yes I know it's a script, that doesn't change my point). I came here expecting something else.

Yeah, when naming your language, it's important to keep mind the expectations of people seeing headlines about articles about your language on blog aggregation sites :^)

Now I'm thinking about "Smalltalk by Example" and "Slang by Example"
