Why not implement full syntax for array access ala Python (x[rng_min:rng_max])?

Is Arc turning into Perl 6 implemented using the Lisp axioms?

If code compression in terms of tokens is the most important design goal why not go for something like J?

Please link up "J" unless you just expect people to know what it is without guesswork.

It's a language similar to APL. Finding out what J is is as simple as searching for j programming language in e.g. google. Results are e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_programming_language

Better yet, the addition of the language features, brevity, and power of K [ http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/11/14/22741/791 ]
