Our syntax is very, very confusing for newbies. Also, procedural and OOP
programming is unnatural and unintuitive. We should use the natural LISP
braces syntax and make PHP functional, so it is much easier to write, e.g.:

((decl (main (echo (add (reverse (array (1 2 3))) (string ('h 'e 'l 'l 'o
'\  'w 'o 'r 'l 'd '\n)))) (phpinfo))))
