Of course it's ugly. As hell. All the unnecessary syntax noise everywhere. Unnecessary braces, unnecessary semicolons, unnecessary commas, angle brackets, some wild mixture of symbols and words (where clauses in types, WTF…), ill lambda syntax, etc. A modern language shouldn't be designed to be foremost convenient for the machine, but instead convenient for the human in front. Parsing is cheap nowadays. Very cheap. But OK, syntax is much of a personal opinion based thingy. It wouldn't be a show stopper, at least for me, if the actual language has merit.
