Maybe it is because I am a fast typer and a slow thinker, but I 
kind of like somewhat verbose syntax (maybe not Java level 
verbose, but still verbose). My brain can parse a statement with 
words in it much faster than it can a mess of brackets and the 
like.  I am a human, not a compiler.

Heck if I was designing my own programming language I'd likely 
have something like:

lambda(a,b) { return a > b; }

Plus I would have 'and' and 'or' instead of && and ||, just 
because that has always bugged me.
