I like the code idea for its concise summation of things. OTOH, anything
that looks like PERL is suspect.
It's worth it because I get to say !P if nothing else.

I'd add the subjective completeness of the language c (+/-), expressing how
stable and complete the language is. For example c means the language is at
the level of dick-jane-spot sentences. Spot spots pots poised on posts'
tops. Spot opts to topple said pots. Stop, Spot, stop! Spot stops tossing
pots. Stupid Spot. *ahem* Minuses mean the language is still in a state of
flux, and pluses mean the author is quite sure of its language, and
understands it well.
I would add a writing section. Something like this?
> P phonology
> w writing
> r (+/-) regularity/irregularity. Are there lots of exceptions,
> esoteric or etabnannic writing rules?
> c uses a consript to write
> S syntax
> b basic word order
If there are multiple orderings, can they be separated with commas?
