Your observations about having a structure that an IDE can provide help with are useful.
I'll have to look into this. Do you have a favorite IDE? Komodo, Eclipse, Emacs, Vim...
The syntax is somewhat C-like, so things like delimiter balancing and highlighting should work, as well as string editing. There are a few reserved words, and identifiers for field types could also be thought of as an enumerated type. Everything else is basically lists of attributes.
IDE hinting is definitely something I'll have to play with.... it's probably a good way to judge how 'natural' the language will feel to programmers.
Thanks, Andre
