What’s a struct, but a tuple with some names?
What’s computation but state and a transition function between states?
What’s computation but a set of functions transformed by simple term rewriting?
Let people enjoy their syntax sugar.
What? I agree with function[T] style generics, and would be willing to change the access syntax to something like container.[index], as the dot makes the difference quite clear.
Or do you mean the approach to implementing a container or the way the compiler has to transform it into the set operation/mutable access? I didn’t think that was such a problem, and I quite like the way it is done in rust, but that approach may be unavailable to many languages.
What’s a form of access but a function from some index type to some element type?

Wasting a perfectly good pair of brackets on some random function call and then suffering for it in many other places sounds more like syntactic salt.
