Iβve read materials liked some and some are liking. π . Found easy things , even easy to write a function and a unicode.
But All the way through those cool use why julia choose `println` (print is more natural than println ).
I am thinking why Julia choose `println` instead of `print` because `print` is easier to talk and read. π

Iβm of two minds here. 80% of the time, you want `println` behavior, but then sometimes you donβt want a newline at the end. The python approach is to use a keyword argument, which isnβt the worst, but I think juliaβs answer of having both `print` and `println` is probably conceptually clearer.

Julia has both `print` and `println`. `println` adds newline at the end.
```julia
julia> x = 5
5
julia> print(x)
5
julia> println(x)
5
```

π oh sorry. I found print. cool π Solved.
I hope in future, Julia be concern about making things more natural language ways π

Probably the final syntax choice is because other languages, like `java` and `C` have also `println`. I would also have chosen to keep `print` for the most common (I think) case that `println` is, but others might prefer otherwise.

π yes your are right. I personally like `print` because sound more natural to write and talk as `Python` background.
I personally think π the way of writing of python (more natural) and more easier learning curve, that part should be import to julia (yes i got to know, julia have even more cool features) but anyway, but i feel fear if borrowed from c or java (steeper learning curve) syntaxes. π

As a non-former-python regular user I find the Julia syntax much easier (with the only exception of that and the `and` vs. `&&`). Otherwise, the syntax for functions, structures, math in general, loop ranges, an many other, is cleaner in Julia. But we always find that what we are used to is simpler. That is normal.
