The small syntax is important for me, because it let's me write code 
"without thinking". Whenever I need to write something, I know it is 
always, object, message, object, message. The same with lisp, function, 
argument, function, argument . Yes, I know it gets more complicated than 
that, but it is great to have that as common denominator. Most other 
languages are, syntax for this, syntax for that, syntax for that other 
thing. Once I get used to having small syntax I don't wan't to go back 
to the other.

Cheers,
