I never had to get used to Lisp, Python, Nim, Julia or SmallTalk syntax. It was easy and natural from day one. Getting used to C-style syntax (C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Rust, etc.) took some effort, and I have to work to get used to it again every time I pick up a C-style syntax language again after working for some time in a different language. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but there is something about that particular syntax that my brain just refuses to internalise.
