.NET by no means requires languages to be C-like, certainly not in trivial ways like having semicolons. F# for example (or for that matter, IronPython) is very unlike C. So whatever you’re trying to say here is still confusing.

Honestly I think you’re leaning too hard into the “Python” marketing. Python is not just a byword for “easy-to-learn dynamically typed language”. It is its own, specific thing, and your language is not the same. You could say something like “inspired by Python” (in certain ways), but claiming to target people who “wish they could write Python on .NET” strikes me as an exaggeration (especially since you can already do that).

Totally fair point — W++ isn’t meant to be a direct Python clone, just inspired by its simplicity and clean syntax (like indentation and dynamic typing). The goal was to make scripting on .NET feel lighter and more approachable.

I’ll tweak the README to make that clearer. Appreciate the honest feedback!
