Great article, and thanks for calling out "guessability" as you call it. It relates to two concepts in computer science, one from programming languages and one from human computer interaction: 1. Orthogonality is the property of a language that it constitute only a small number of concepts, but exactly the ones you need (e.g. C or Scheme are orthogonal, C++17 is not). 2. A good user experience (e.g. of a Web GUI, but also of a programming language) minimizes the violation of expectations of the user (Ben Shneiderman). "Discoverability" has also been used to describe this. I agree with you that it's desirable for a language that you may have an intuition "it should be written as something like this..." and it just words. Thanks for calling out "guessability"!
