I think people often discount the value that a change like this can have in readability. For the longest time I was impressed by sophisticated/clever code that did hard things. As I built more and more systems I realized that such a perspective was futile that the better code in my mind was that which was clear, easy to read and understand the intent. Any language changes whether they be core to the system or simply syntax sugar, any changes that make code more readable are by and large, good changes.
