Fair enough. I guess it depends a lot on the language. I use mostly Python, Elixir, and Clojure (my unnaturally desperate love, which I don't use much). For those languages, the syntax is either less verbose (python/clojure) or less predictable (elixir). If I were doing Java or C/C++, I would probably learn to love templates and expansions.
