I only wish that the syntax was changed to make it easier to search/grep for the definition of functions and types. Odin makes this so nice, you can search for “<function|type name> ::”. Maybe moving the return type to after the closing parenthesis would be enough?

2 more wishes: add named parameters and structured concurrency and I think it would be a very cool language.

It was the minimal change from C. It's fairly easy regex out the types, so while not as nice as Odin, it should be straightforward.

Named parameters are already in the language.

Regarding concurrency, I don't want to pick a single concurrency model over another. I will see what hooks I can make for userland additions, but the language will not be opinionated about concurrency.
