Patrick is a better man than me. I would've gone with "your face is a typographic nightmare"
I'm sure he was thinking it, but there is a special delight in delivering not just a searing rebuttal but doing so while retaining the high ground.
Of all the things to complain about, I have no idea what’s wrong with “use foo::bar::baz;” So many tedious, tedious hours of syntax discussions internal to the team and people still burst in like the Kool-Aid man thinking they’re the first person who ever thought about the language’s syntax.
It's hard to understand this complaint. Especially in a world with ligatures if :: is the worst thing you can find the language's syntax is pretty great honestly!
