Sugar design goals include:
- Can be learned in a couple of days by average developers
- Abstract from common JavaScript pitfalls
- Minimize the differences in the code produced by different coders
- Capture more information than other languages (be explicit)
Sugar owes the following languages in different areas:
- Python, for the simplicity and cleanliness of the syntax
- Eiffel, for the design by contract support
- Smalltalk, for blocks
- Io, for the message sending syntax
- ML, for the pattern-matching syntax
- Lisp, for the map/reduce/filter support

Example:
@module helloworld
@class HelloWorld

@property message
