Whoa, the Dotty extension method syntax has gotten all goofy: 
def (c: Circle) circumference: Double
instead of the C# style
def circumference(this c: Circle) : Double

For me, it's not that it's illogical, I just find that it adds to my mental parsing load considerably. The same elements, reordered - it requires careful reading which is hard to skim at a glance

As an unnecessary visual metaphor perhaps, but instead of "def name args" it's "def (name args) OR (args name args)" which is unusual & novel syntax for a boring feature that every other language has boring syntax for.

I think I'm missing something…the location of the def determines where it is defined, and the syntax between the def and the `=` just resembles the callsite. Any other order would involve mental reordering between definition site and callsite, or defining elsewhere, wouldn't it?
