Re:Why do long options start with two dashes? (2019) by eyelidlessness on Thursday April 08, 2021 @10:37PM (#26746138)
I thought of mentioning the Prolog heritage. Weirdly CSS (having the worst syntax consistency of any language I can think of) is hyphen-heavy and solves its negation infix operator ambiguity well: it needs to be surrounded by whitespace.

For Prolog/Erlang, I think the preceding syntax is disambiguating enough
