What I like about W. Language is that the full name is used for many commands. When you want to develop a big library you have to stay away of short cuts like using two or three letters for a name. Long name is a distintive of a language designed to be used in a wide ecosystem. Numpy names are longer than R names, for example for rnorm (random numbers from a normal distribution). One way to connect (pipe things) would be to use a full name version of a language using an option like: use fullnames.
