imho, the fundamental problem is using space as a delimiter. Also, case-sensitivity is a disaster for ergonomics.
If you had comma-delimiting like in an algol-derived language, you wouldn't need to quote things with spaces.
edit: also, code is read more times than it is written, so optimizing for readability over brevity is generally a good move.
