Doesnt seem particularly better than Go, unless you count compiling to JS as a strong need (knowing the JS world, I have my doubts on how useful/convenient that is until webasm really is adopted)

Huh, the parenthesization thing is interesting. Programming languages so often pretend to be maths, because in specific situations, people do a lot of maths with them, and you get a familiarity bonus for it.

But yeah, it's often clunky. I know in Rust, it's a real problem that they can't distinguish whether you're using < to compare the size of two numbers or to specify generics, which is why the turbofish-syntax exists.
And yeah, it just rarely feels actually worth it, as you could just as well write 3.less_than(5).

This parenthesization thing is definitely another such case, which I hadn't considered yet.
I imagine, for most languages, it isn't too big of a deal to have a special casing for that, as it mostly only overlaps with tuple-syntax, but for languages with implicit returns out of { }, it's kind of an unnecessary oddity in the syntax.
