Yes, we are talking about syntax.

OP's first four words: "The thing about syntax".

No, the comment replied to has the first four words "Might be cool to". The differences are so minuscule that the argument could be made for it to be 2 differing standards for the same language.

I don't understand your point, much less why you're using the "first four words" thing back at me on my own comment.

The differences may be miniscule. They are syntactic. "Might be cool to" have this other syntax. You're just belaboring the obvious.

That's the whole point. Syntax can be very influential in how people use (or don't) a language

Yes and no. For what I replied to is essentially garden shedding the language. The overall problem is grasping the concepts, weather or not you want es6 style lambdas, or proper haskell function definitions is irrelevant if you don't understand the concepts.
