I hadn't considered how blessed I was to have __enter__ / __exit__ in Python for context managers and the more general Protocol concept that can be used for anything because lordy that definition looks ugly as sin. Even Perl looks on in horror of the sins JS has committed.

> Even Perl looks on in horror of the sins JS has committed. LOL. What a great line. It's getting pretty ridiculous, I agree. I don't understand the need for so many shorthands for one. All they do is make code illegible for the sake of saving a few keystrokes. Using the Symbol object that way is just ugly.
