same for me, except I know Java better, but I could live with C++ as well.

I agree, except there so many languages already that I'd like to get a
clear picture of it and try to get the best features from them.
One issue is wheter it should be pure XML or not, meaning:

<if cond="i<3">
  do something
</if>

vs

if (i<3)
{
  do something
}

second looks better but is worse in xml philosophy
