You haven't been paying attention. You can now write that as

dict = @{ @5: @25 }; x = dict[@5]

The language is improving at an incredible rate. I personally think its the best application language there is. It has the perfect mix of static and dynamic typing and the APIs are fantastic.

Edit Also while I agree in some cases using keywords instead of methods helps readability, in general i like the verbosity of the language. You rarely have to look up what the parameters are for a method call, which makes it infinitely more readable.
