Has the same annoying issues as REBOL. Special characters are allowed in words.

  a+b
is a word. Unlike

  a + b
which is a sequence of three words separated by spaces.

Dealbreaker. a+b*c + a+b * c / a+b/d + a+b / d % a + b So easy to miss or add a space while typing. Reading afterward, its difficult to tell if there's even spaces in some areas.

Dealbreaker for you. I'd hate for you to see Agda..
