I'm changing method definition syntax in my language:
// old
fun (this: Int) inc(): Int { this + 1 }
// new
method inc(this: Int): Int { this + 1 }
The original syntax was inspired by Go, but the new syntax is more grep-friendly and perhaps more readable. Not sure about the verbosity though. Thoughts?
The TypeScript docs have IDE-like hover types on all the examples, which is really impressive.
I also like how the second example always shows the type of the relevant part, regardless of mouse position. It's clear and mobile friendly.
