Writing type params with <> (e.g. List<Int>) seems the most natural to me: probably because I encountered that syntax first. Between C++, Java and TypeScript I think it's the most common too. List[Int] seems to be next most common (Scala, Python) but TIL Gleam uses List(Int)!

I'm not a fan of the mastodon web UI behaviour where moving down with cursor keys 'snaps' to the next toot. Is it possible to disable this, so my cursor keys always move the page by a consistent visual amount? I've poked in the settings and didn't see anything obvious.

One underrated feature of Go and Julia: methods are defined without extra indentation. In e.g. Java they're inside the the class at the next indentation level. Methods are so common and indentation is a finite resource. "Top level method" syntax is surprising at first though.
