You can't get more ambiguous to parse than {} in the context of Go. > also Julia at least is prior art Julia doesn't use curly braces for blocks and structs.

    Are we going to ask this for every Unicode character pair? They have answered all these questions in the design document: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/43651-type-parameters.md#why-not-use https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/des... They thought about generics for 12 years. It's unlikely that someone who thought about it for 3 minutes on Hacker News has some epiphany that wasn't taken into consideration.

      I think this is a joke from another thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5penft/parallelizing_enjarify_in_go_and_rust/dcsgk7n/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5penft/parallelizing_.... Also, I think it is fair to challenge the decisions here seeing as how there have been a few things chosen in Go's history that ignores prior art from other programming languages.
