Not really. :)
Two notations, ala Dylan, so one can go more succinct at the cost of
extra syntax and !%^[]#!@ stuff.
Actually, there is only one notation, but I added on some new
syntactic sugar (similar in flavor to other forms of lisp syntactic
sugar, such as the use of 'a to mean (quote a).
The reason for the new syntactic sugar is to make it easier to deal
with complicated data structures using notation compact enough to make
them convenient. I think the video of my talk explains it pretty well.
The web site, http://www.otterlang.org/, currently is empty, but that
should change in a week or so. Meanwhile, one can subscribe to the
