> Swift's method declaration/call syntax that looks unlike anything else (except maybe Objective-C)?

Well, Smalltalk actually, and Swift did a poor job of keeping it. Why everything has to look like C or Pascal is a mystery.

Swift makes Objective-C method calls like C with extra punctuation and people add classes to JavaScript. I wish Swift had at least respected that if anything just to cut down on punctuation.
