Re:"Useless syntax sugar": Numbered block parameters in Ruby by zverok on Wednesday October 11, 2023 @03:48PM (#37849392)
Yeah, should've mentioned that probably (though a post is already a mess of footnotes, aside notes, and parenthicals).

I do believe though that a lot of modern languages got that from Ruby (or, via Ruby, from "JS that Rubyists wrote" and such), when it was a "hot new thing" for a brief moment in 2000s. Or maybe it is my skewed perspective.
