dc.description.abstract	The expression structure of programming languages is examined. Two weaknesses are identified. The first pertains to the inability, or limited ability, to redefine operators or to define new operators. The second pertains to the inconsistency of the levels of abstraction allowed for left values and right values in assignments. The expression structure of backchat, a language for user interface implementation, is introduced. It is shown how this structure alleviates the problems of other programming languages.	en
