There is so much different syntactic sugar to do the same thing that it’s becoming very difficult to onboard new devs to any slightly complex application worked on by multiple devs because invariably the codebase will consist of 3-4 syntaxes doing the same thing which can get really hard to grok.*

Too many smart language people trying to justify their salary.
