People often have very strong opinions about surface syntax like this, but in the end it just comes down to personal preference, there is really no objectively superior choice. In past experience, this tends to lead to long circular discussions with little productive outcome. Julia’s syntax is finalized at this point – Except for new non-breaking features and minor consistency improvements the syntax just won’t change. I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but I think at this point, we will just have to agree to disagree.
