    @chriskrycho @aturon @airspeedswift
    That’s a good phrase, and a writeup full of good thoughts.

    One thing the writeup elides too much for my taste is the cost of ubiquitout repetition. Some features are powerful and context-dependent in the writeup’s rubric, but also so common and normal that making them explicit makes them repeated •everywhere•.

    There’s cost to that. Ben quoted me on that here: https://mastodon.social/@airspeedswift/113811104413706720 …and I stand by that, and agree wholeheartedly with his further assertion. Repetition creates noise. Noise is the opposite of communication. That needs to be part of the equation too.

      Evolution can go the other way too. The `any` keyword for existentials for example (hopefully as a step towards swapping `any` and `some` to give us `var body: View`). But attempts to add back in ceremony in pursuit of clarity are usually heading in the wrong direction. Take the proposal to require explicit self on member access. The rejection quotes @inthehands@hachyderm.io: "anything that is widely repeated becomes invisible” I would go further though. Anything repeated gets in the way, reduces clarity.
