If syntax didn't matter we wouldn't see conformity to a set few styles, with outliers having a far more difficult time gaining traction. Syntax very obviously matters. Besides, futures are very old in Rust at this point (relative to the language's age) and had been discussed years ago. The reason people aren't seeing those discussions is because they happened a long time ago but syntax happened a month ago.
