I will never understand people who bash someone's preference of a language after claiming they don't understand people who bash other languages for their syntax. Turns out language syntax preferences are subjective and most likely not black and white.

For example, Pythons syntax is quite nice for the most part, but I hate indentation being syntax. I like braces for scoping, I just do. Rust exists in both camps for me; I love matching with Result and Option, but lifetime syntax confuses me sometimes. Not everyone will agree, they are opinions.
