alt Hacker NewsI personally find Go's bare syntax harder to parse when reading, and I spend more time reading code than typing it (even while writing).
An excessively terse syntax becomes very unforgiving, when a typo is not noticed by the compiler / language server, but results in another syntactically correct but unexpected program, or registers as a cryptic error much farther downstream. Cases in point: CoffeeScript, J.
That is why syntax debates are so difficult. There is no objectively best syntax. So we are all stuck with subjective experience. For me I find Python (non-typed) and Golang syntax easiest to read.
Too many symbols like ., :, @, ; etc just mess with my brain.
