I didn't say the language was a huge fail. I don't have a background with indented languages, and although the code looked correct to me, it wasn't, and not having the knowledge of what could be wrong, I was dependent on the compiler, which gave me no help. I'm ok with curly brackets and semi-colons, so there wasn't any reason to continue wasting my time in a fruitless attempt to figure out what I did wrong. I'm not down on the language at all, bad compiler errors are expected in one year old languages. I'll give it another look on my next project.
