I like the changes you're considering quite a bit, but the syntax definitely feels clunky. Is there any reason you couldn't just do C-style variable types?

Also, is it necessary to keep "function"? Why not just use the return type:

PHP Code:

// double return value
double mean(double a, double b) {
  return (a + b) / 2;
}

// no return value
void log(string message) {
  echo(message);
}

// returns something, "def" is a type that can hold anything
def anything() {
  def[] array = [player, this, "a"];
  return array[int(random(0, array.size()))];
} 


This syntax would be more comfortable for a lot of amateur and professional programmers.
