i used to be impressed with cute syntactical constructs that would let you express things far more efficiently in programming languages but tbh over the last decade or so ive gone from that to "if your syntax noticeably diverges from basic C-style stuff then you've fucked up, simple syntax is best because sugar is bad for you"

i suppose i should maybe make a small carve out here for monad patterns but idk, the good monad syntax patterns are still very "basic C adjacent"

@HaraldKi yeah that tracks, pretty much near the end of it and have been coding for multiple decades

@eniko I find this fascinating because i find the C syntax to be atrociously complex.

But I learned to code on the ML family, so I am probably biased.
