C# is `foo.bar<T>()`, I’m not sure what compromises that had to make for that to work but from an end-user perspective it works well.

They parse it one way, and if they figure out the other parse option was right, they go back and fix the parse tree.

Basically, unlimited look-ahead.

Is it somehow a problem?

Oops :D

Using [] is the optimal choice for languages in general, but they can't even use that because they blew away that syntax for indexing.

Scala uses [] for generics and () for indexing, which sort of makes sense given that in the end arrays are just functions.

So are the uninstantiated generic types ;-)
