I am confused if you this is an honest opinion or if you are saying with a touch of sarcasm. If it is the latter, a winking smiley or "</sarcasm>" or "/s" would have been nice to avoid triggering Poe's Law. In my honest opinion, discussion on syntax is a distraction. One of the reasons I like Lisp/Clojure is that there is very little syntax. I can just focus on my problem and writing good code.
