The idea of "being as close to English as possible" reminds me a lot of some of the ideas behind COBOL, which ended up with the language having an absurd number of reserved words (more than 300 if I remember correctly). Was COBOL an inspiration to you in any way?

Also, there a programming language called Plain English. You should check it out, maybe there are some lessons to be learned there.
