Reminds me of Bjarne Stroustrup talking about how every time they add a new feature to the language, it's unfamiliar to anyone so everyone wants it to be REALLY LOUD AND OBVIOUS. "Stand back! I'm going to use a LAMBDA here!" But, after a short time, the new features are so common and familiar that everyone starts complaining about how loud they are. "Why is the syntax for lambdas so noisy! [](){}! Gah! Can we at least make the () optional to quiet it down a bit??"
