Ack.
Maybe I misunderstood the article then! When I read:
For new features, people insist on LOUD explicit syntax.
For established features, people want terse notation.
I understood, keep it explicit to begin with, and make it terse when users get familiar. Probably I got it wrong.
- kibwen 10y agoI don't think you're wrong, I just think that you're overlooking that not all features eventually receive terse notation. Some stay loud and explicit forever! Only a few, relatively important features receive terse notation, and knowing which features those are requires observing how the language is used.
