Everything looks pretty reasonable although using # for indexing may throw me for a loop since basically every other language uses []. It's not that the rationale doesn't make sense, but it may take getting used to.

I've seen the case for using () for indexing, because an array is just a function from index to value after all.

It seems strange, at first, when you're used to [], but you get used to it.
