Not by a noticeable amount > and make them more readable, I guess it's a matter of personal taste, experience with other languages and whatnot, but as far a I'm concerned, I find the actual syntax more readable - I don't have to think twice to know that it's a function call and what are the params. Also, and FWIW, in Python, the parens are the call operator. Given that a function may return another function, how would you handle the following case: result = my_hof(foo, bar)(baaz) And while where at it, since Python functions are first class objects, how would you handle this other case: def somefunc(arg): return 2 * arg alias = somefunc # some code here result = alias(42) > + no > needs to write annoing charecters. Could it be that these 'annoying characters' have a good reason to be here ?
