Readable would be a nice benefit.

  This, I don't understand why we have to load these languages up with so much syntax, it's mind boggling to think that some how we feel it's beneficial to have so much. I'm admittedly biased to the symbolic expression but surely we could have come up with some middle ground.

    Two things: - It was made to be approachable for C++ experts - The idea was that language could be effortlessly greppable.

      Coming from C++, and I would have loved Rust to not pick up C++-y things to make it look like it...

      So legacy baggage from the get go. This is what I'm lamenting, it's objectively a syntax soup.

  Not sure about smaller or simpler, but Ada is definitely more readable in my opinion.
