This is just a classic missed marketing opportunity. The problem is not
the reality of the situation but the lack of courage in selling the
"features" of the language:

	Anything in ten lines of code

The Starter kit should be called "10 out of 10" and challenge any other
language to accomplish as much with so few lines of code. It should be
bundled with an extensive open source code library which users would be
encouraged to contribute to - so making it even easier to do "anything
in 10 lines".

The classic reason for not doing this is the fear that it will undercut
the market for the full product. This fear is completely unfounded. It
is also completely un-Scottish.
