What's with newer languages putting types after variable/function names? Then you need an extra symbol : or -> and a function keyword. It also breaks readability of long function headers as you have to read the name skip to the end to read the return type then back to the first argument. Is there a good reason for this trend?

A few years out of college. Would really like to be able to work in python or another modern language, but also have several years of c/c++. Teaching myself full stack dev and recently built a web app that I'm trying launch.
