  <li>syntax, but not too much</li>
  <li>What is the dominant programming paradigm(s) in the language?</li>
  <li>Describe the language's type system: strong/weak, static/dynamic, type inference, duck-typing, &hellip;. </li>
  <li>What built-in types does the language have?  How can additional types be defined?</li>
  <li>How can the logic be manipulated: reflection, first-class functions?</li>
  <li>How is memory managed in/by the language?</li>
  <li>To what processor architectures and/or virtual machine/bytecode architectures does the language compile?</li>
  <li>What compiler/interpreter implementations are there for the language?  (e.g. Haskell has both [[GHC]] and Hugs)  Do they differ in the details of the language they implement?  In any of the other implementation details?  Speed?</li>
  <li>What prominent projects are implemented using the language?  Can you find any information about why this language was chosen?</li>
  <li>What are the overall strengths and weaknesses of the language?</li>
