I believe that no language (including mine) should be chosen without 
including features I find in other languages.

But because we are all so objective toward our own children :-), I would
like to suggest that apart from presenting our own solutions we will
have another presentation (of at least the same duration) where we try
to choose one language that is not ourselves, or even list the features
we like in other languages that are not the language we suggest.
