What I've had in mind with Koto is that when I need strictness and precision I'll generally be using Rust, and Koto is more intended for another aspect of programming where I want things to be much more fluid and easy-going.

My thinking is that the potential footgun here is outweighed by the win of paren-free calls for quick scripting / rapid iteration, but it certainly counts towards the language strangeness budget [1] so I figured it was worth pointing out in the guide.
