Bliss is even lower-level than C.  It made the too-consistent choice of 
having names mean the same thing on the left-hand side of an assignment 
as on the right-hand side.  A name meant the address of a variable, so 
to access the value of a variable, you had to dereference it with the 
dot operator, much like the unary asterisk in C.

C:	a = b
Bliss:	a = .b

C:	a = a + 1
Bliss:	a = .a + 1

C:	a = *b
Bliss:	a = ..b

C: 	a = &b
Bliss:	a = b

It was far too common to forget the dots...
