I think those more complicated things are there to make things easy for developers. The standard library is not that big, and the extra syntax is there for a reason - for example `with` is pretty fantastic for reducing `case` clutter (a real thing with erlang), and pipes are also great.

I don't love that there are two ways to make lambdas but it's nit the worst thing in the world.
