Me too :) I like Scala a lot because of how it handled `apply` and `update` (and even more because of how library authors know not to make a trait govern syntax sugar)

In Scala? Yeah, you can define any operator you want. Thankfully unlike C++ there's an emphasis on purity and clarity (and unclear operators often get deprecated, like /: and :\ [nobody had any clue what those did])

Yeah, as an outsider things seem a bit nicer in Scala land since the move away from libraries like ScalaZ (which used far more operators than healthy), towards Cats which seems more restrained and careful in its choices of operators…

It's really bad. Can you even imagine entering codepoints for this nonsense all the time? Someone *wanted that* for some reason.
