I suppose beginner programmers might find all the different kinds of brackets in C++ confusing but after some experience, it helps a lot with readability. If I see `a[1]` then I know that `a` is probably an array. If I see `a(1)` then I know that `a` is probably a function. You could make the argument that those are terrible names for variables and methods and you'd be correct, but every small bit of context helps.
