Right, well, I'm referring to the majority of syntax complaints which fall into "I hate braces!" or "Why do the brackets come first and not second?!" Really folks, it doesn't matter. Now, if you had syntax that will result in a massive decrease in efficiency I'm willing to listen. For example, the "function" keyword in Javascript or the lack of implicit typing during assignment in Java are worth talking about, but really at the end of the day they are the least of your problems when considering the limitations of a language.
