A programming language with good features and notation can help the programmer represent his abstractions in the programming language, and can also help someone else understand the original abstraction. There have been numerous proposals for better features. In this paper we propose several new ideas to improve the notation. First we suggest that class instances be named with a sequence of identifiers consisting of the class name preceded by modifiers. Then we propose that prepositions be placed before procedure parameters to suggest their role. Finally, we suggest that applicative and imperative operations can be separated semantically, and then recombined syntactically through the use of the “which” and passive operators.
