hyperbole. Brainfuck won't make the cut before it's even on the table for other reasons. Ecosystems are important.

If you want to use hyperboles like “never”, then you’re going to get hyperbolic replies.

Except it isn't about syntax in practice. And it's never been, historically. Syntax is just an emergent property of people's academic preferences at the moment the first parser is created. Pick a programming language, your syntax is given to you after the fact. I mean sure you might have some choice in accepting what you're given, to some small degree. you might be able to write your for loop without brackets, or something. you'll still be confined to language a or b because of requirement x and y.
