Hey guys, i never post comments in this site but I logged in just to add to the argument: if you guys have the intention of the language being widely adopted once it matures, please, greatly consider a name change. Here in the United States, the word swallow has a very strong sexual connotation and I'm absolutely sure that people will be embarrassed to say they code in Swallow. I'm surprised someone else in the comments said that the word also has a bad meaning in their language (not English).
Again, i wish you success, but I guarantee you the language will not pick up in the United States just because developers will not be throwing that word around.

OK, I'll discuss this.
