Typescript also orders its parameters this way. Between all the Rust and Typescript vs Java and C++ code I've written, I really haven't found that either is better than other, it just seems like a largely arbitrary choice. Making parsing easier for the compiler is a convincing benefit, would have been nice to see that mentioned in the article. I think that's a substantially stronger reason to prefer types after names. I'm not sure if I parse either faster or slower though.
