gollark: Go making all loops `for` (WHY DOES IT DO THAT) doesn't make it much simpler, since you still have to *know* all the weird ways to use it and so does the compiler.
gollark: I mean, that's not a thing of *keywords*, just of... more language features, really.
gollark: More keywords → more complexity in the language/parsing/whatever, more stuff programmers have to know.
gollark: For all (values of) f there exists a (value) g such that f (x, y) = (g x) y. In other words, you can convert any function which takes two values as a tuple or something to a curried one. I think.
gollark: I knew it would eventually be useful setting that as my status!
