I think it's tiring because before every expression I have to type a (. It's not tiring to type semi-colors and commas because they are very well positioned on the keyboard and I don't have to reach out in the same way as I need to for the parenthesis.

Plus, there are not a lot of semi-colons and commas in JS and Python.


Replace in Python with 4-space / tab indentation.
