There's always the cultural baggage of earlier programming 
language. Math and math logic baggage too, etc. Please read the 
paper on Lua's history.

Is it realistic to expect 'English meanings' for all constructs? 
Do newbie Lua programmers expect Lua to be really simple to use as 
in, it must closely reflect normal human language?

I have some doubts about how useful this thread is.
