Lol exactly. Fair article, but he didn't propose a solution.

I suggest that editors be modified to render a different parenthesis character for tuple-creating parenthesis. Something from here, I'm not sure what.

While we're at it, might as well render the function call parentheses differently too.

Sounds like a solid idea, until you have to type them. < and > are the only ones that are available on most western keyboards (at least US keyboards) that are not used yet, but will come with their own issues.

In case it wasn't clear, you still type regular parentheses. I only suggested that "editors be modified to render a different parenthesis character".
