So, you've now eliminated both possible ways of creating a new Point:

    3 @ 4
    Point x: 3 y: 4

I wonder what language we would end up with if all of your (even
conflicting) goals were implemented.

The more syntax you eliminate, the more you end up with LISP.  Maybe you
want LISP... you know where to find it!
