Personally, FT is a bit meh to me. The way you issue your statements I 
always think something is wrong, mainly because when I want to define, 
say, x, in python I'd go:

x = "whatever"

Instantly noting that I defined x. While in Flaming Thunder I'd have to 
type:

Set x to "whatever"

It just feels wrong.
