>>func<Future<List<Option<String>>>> vs func[Future[List[Option[String]]]]

>Which one is easier on your eyes?

i don't get the joke here. Or are you seriously implying that one is in someway better than the other? (i'm curious as i've been in the industry for more than two decades, so my eyes just filter that crap automatically anyway)

Granted I'm biased as I'm primarily a scala dev these days but I've always preferred the square brackets over the angle brackets. At least for me it is actually more readable.

Angle brackets aren't even very readable, couple that with the fact that they are also OPERARTORS and you are looking at some major complexity in your parser to distinguish between bracket usage and operator usage (possible, but requires looking ahead, worse syntax errors).

Or just terrible syntax choices like in Java or Rust.

I am seriously implying that one is easier on the eyes than other.
