Great article. It think it raises a good point. An important aspect of modern programming languages should be to simplify the syntax, to help developers avoid mistakes.

This reminds me of arguing more than once with JS developers about the dangers of loose typing (especially in the case of JS) and getting the inevitable reply ”I just keep track of my type casting.”.

I don't think the syntax has to be simple, it just needs to be expressive
