I agree, it seems like there are a lot of decisions for the syntax to make writing the parser easier. It almost seems like the assumption is that there will be a robust autocomplete service available for inserting the extra notation.

The func/fn thing though with type inference of return values is especially annoying though because you won’t be able to hoist it to a package level function without changes to the signature. Subsequent readers have to perform their own mental return type analysis as well, and that’s just extra cognitive load. When reading code, I like when functions are extremely clear about their inputs and outputs.

I like that this exists though, and hope the project is successful.
