Loss of traction was also about lack of ability. Meta is designed with much fewer limitations and implemented to be usable as quickly as possible.

It's not the same. We open source what we can, incrementally. I lobbied Carl to open source REBOL and used that incrementally in #Syllable. I was also there with Red and agree, that's why I started Meta.

It's kinda cool. Edgecases are cool.

PEMDAS is wrong

When it comes to order of operations (PEMDAS, BODMAS, BEDMAS, BIDMAS), who are you going to believe: your primary school teacher, or Richard Feynman? Applyin...

Perhaps we will do this in Meta in the future, so this notation needs to be reserved for that.

REBOL languages require whitespace between terms, so the dense math convention is not suitable. Currently, 3ab and 2cd are invalid terms/numbers. But there's a proposal in REBOL to make this denote units. So this would be units ab and cd, and what they mean determines if they can be added.

Indeed. In interpreted REBOL languages, parentheses have extra storage and runtime evaluation costs, but in compiled Meta code, they are optimised away, so they cost nothing.
