    @superSGP @gnuaesthetic it's part of the basic premise of the language that you are operating at the level of methods, which are a name + parameter types, rather than functions, which are just names. but I appreciate how different this is from other dynamic languages like JavaScript or Clojure.

      @superSGP @gnuaesthetic I wonder how to soften the transition? I wonder what it was like for python programmers moving to Julia, where I would expect there to have been a similar mismatch of expectations.
