Or as I tell my colleagues who try to push for more abstract syntax: do you want your brain to do compilation each time your read something, or just have verbose text giving hints at each line ?

It s weird people prefer reading implicit text.



Isn’t this a big reason we have syntax highlighting? You can use color and styling to give you those hints that are otherwise implicit in text.
