Argument about how a programming language _looks_ like is the bikesheddest of bikesheds.
Anyone can have an opinion on what punctuation is "ugly" or what they think is "readable".
Rarely anyone understands why a given syntax is necessary, and what are the drawbacks of "prettier" alternatives.
The cost may be in parsing ambiguities, poor syntax errors, or need for implicit behaviors that may backfire.
