   Dear “X’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels natural to read and easy to write”, please do some programming language ergonomics research. A sizeable amount of us can’t deal with Ruby-like languages, me included. So if you say something like the above, you’re telling me I suck and I lose all interest in your X. ✌️

     @janl tbh I appreciate it when a language is up-front about being rubylike or pythonlike because it lets me know immediately that I don't need to spend more time looking into whether I'd enjoy using it; I can bin it right off the bat
