I respectfully disagree. I think it's really nice when a new language reuses existing syntax and allows me to make use of my existing mental structures.

As an example, I love it that json is like js, and that js is a bit like C. Even when there are inevitable "false friends" in any new language, it's so nice to have that starting advantage.
