Magnet is an object-oriented programming language, that is prototype-based to the point of real types being absent in favor of duck types.
E.g. every object providing a read method that returns a readable, is considered "readable" (meaning it can represent a string). Since this causes a recursion, there must be some "primal" readable to end that: Such primal readable is also known as a String Object in Magnet.
Furthermore, Magnet is syntax driven. This means: Everything that can be done to reduce code, retain simplicity and to amaze the developer, IS done!
5 * {puts '5 times'}
Displays '5 times' five times.
'Hello':split.each({char :: puts char})
Displays 'Hello', with each character on a new line.
