Syntax. And the language is kept simple (no dynamic class typing, nor  
diamond heritage structures, nor virtual functions)

Highly tuned is the contrary of TEA. I mean designed specifically for  
Globulation. It's what I tried to do with SGSL but I was young and  
inexperienced at that time... I would like a language that is  
intrinsically bound to glob2, it's universe, and it's possibility.
But in the other hand I know of no game where this was done, so I  
can't really give a concrete example.

(I really should concentrate on my work here...)
