Early adopters shouldn't throw stones... :) But in fact I quite like the
new Dict syntax, which seems to be more explicit and readable. Curly braces
seem to be gainfully employed elsewhere doing type stuff. And experts can
make short cuts, either in Julia or in their editors...
I confess I'm a bit puzzled by having to change `[1:10]` to `[1:10...]`,
but then again, `collect(1:10)` is more explicit and readable. So I think
it's progress.
I suppose, as a former user of The Programming Language Formerly Known as
Mathematica", I might be more grateful than others for a less
punctuation-heavy language syntax. Mathematica Wizards can fluently read
and write code like this:
lcm = Fold[#/#2/._~_~x_|_:>#x&,1,{##}]&
but I'm happy with a more readable approach.
