"less syntax" isn't necessarily better. The goal isn't to have as few characters as possible.


True, it is subjective. I prefer C, Go, PHP, ... and OCaml, Erlang, Elixir, Perl, and sometimes Ada and Common Lisp.

I like the syntaxes of each, although Ada is too verbose to me, and with Factor and Common Lisp I have a skill issue.


I agree. I'm not a fan of minimized syntax (see Haskell). But I am a fan of easy to read syntax!


If it were we would all be using APL.
