Seriously? Some people either have a really weak mental model of a language or want to see problems where there are none. With the same right one could argue that {} can't be used for generics etc. since most people also have to write JS from time to time and it will confound the hell out of their language parser when switching languages.

  Oh OK, but that's a solved problem.

    It would be solved if languages using these forms didn't require more complex parser than languages not using these forms. That is not the case, and it is thus not solved in any meaningful sense of the term.
