It's funny how languages can offer multiple forms of syntax, but formatters standardise to a single form.
E.g. single vs double quotes in JS, optional semicolons in JS, different ways of grouping imports in Rust.
Should new languages be more syntactically opinionated?

I've started using DNSControl for configuring DNS for my personal domains and it's been delightful. Declarative DNS!

I've now worked on several systems where the JSON was so big that avoiding pretty-printing was a performance win!
I eventually learned that there's a 'correct way up' for USB A cables. The two small holes should be on top.
Tragically not all power adapters get this right, even for name brands. My ability to get the cable right first time still isn't much better than 50%!
