A quick look suggests strong typing and that's a huge plus. The syntax is easy to understand and read, but I hope it will be consistent - if writeInt, why not writeStr etc. too?
This looks very interesting. I'm hoping there will be more documentation. For example, docs for the standard library/packages and explanation about the design of the language (does it use garbage collection? how does the type system work? how does the foreign function interface work? etc.).
Technically I could find all these things out by reading all the source code, but that's a lot of work just to see if the language meets my needs.
There's already a Q language from KX.

Looking through the code a bit. This is quite impressive for such a short time working on it.
It really ought to have a simple example in the readme to give people a feel of the syntax.
does quickly draw attention to it's examples directory though
I saw the examples directory. It should still be at the top of the readme.
I think the syntax is really pretty!
