Over the years I have come to the conclusion that simple syntax idioms have nothing to do with the real problems that developers face.

Myself I haven't worked anywhere for years where the higher ups have not always been over promising features and even while making the actual promise not even understanding what they are promising. Even worse those they are making the promise to don't know what they want either.

Solving that problem would have a vast impact on software development.

Might note that I have worked at places with explicit requirements as part of the contract and even then they can't get it right.
