Warren -

Welcome!
This actually makes you uniquely valuable on this list.  Here's a little challenge...

Present a syntax that you like better, and that is capable of expressing all of the current language.  You don't have to be able to compile it, or even to generate it automatically, you just have to present 5 or 10 methods both ways so it is clear how it handles each aspect of our current semantics.
