However, if I link to gestalt theory of psychology; The Elements of Typographical Style by Robert Bringhurst; and The Primer of Visual literacy by Donis Dondis, folks will undoubtedly NOT read it and still downvote because they have been in Rust code and so have naturally become accustomed to its monstrous appearance. :)
Perhaps I should design a language that is typographically sound—something like brainf*ck haha
I mean God help us should a crustacean try to understand the merits of my claim.
“Oh he’s saying something negative about rust…” Downvote!
I think with AI the language should still be readable. Humans need to be able to understand what’s going on!
This is a problem when language designers are mathematicians and don’t understand typographical nuance and visual weights.
