Not everything has to be super easy-to-use.

  Nobody is suggesting super easy to use. But sometimes interfaces could be easier with no loss of ability, because they grew over time and nobody ever fixed them.

    It is terse for a reason. You're ordering a parser around in 10 characters. Which makes them fit everywhere! A longer more readable version starts taking up multiple lines and looking like shitty react code. Or you're just using your language's string primitives. But there is a reason that nobody does that any more -- who wants to read 50 lines of string parsing code when a couple dozen characters of regex will do the same thing? Let us wizards have our magic!

      The particular syntax being used an example is more verbose than it needs to be, so I don't know why you're making this argument.
