A final proposal for Rust await syntax

Different languages for different purposes. AFAIK, python is made for being easy to use and write, Clojure (Rich Hickey) is a pragmatic language for getting things done. Different languages will focus on different things and I think that's a good thing.

If I got to choose between the Clojure I know today VS a Clojure designed for ease of use and being familiar, I'm pretty sure I would chose the first.

Just like APL is much better for some tasks compared to Python, and vice versa.

What does this mean though? Empirically speaking, a lot more "gets done" today using python than clojure. So, perhaps being easy to use is more pragmatic than whatever Rich means.

I.e. Lisp, basically.
