Whilst C++ is a curly-brace language, it's really quite different syntactically to C/JS/Java (even more in C++11). Seeking beginner's mind.

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)!

Is there any relationship between language adoption and the size of its standard library?
These days it seems completely orthogonal, but early Java adopters spoke highly of the collections library compared with C++.
Maybe it's the widespread availability of package managers?
