Seriously, from these adjectives follows that referring to Wirth
style languages will likely sound preachy. Not the attitude that
one would want associated with a language designed for free,

But look at how Apple did use some more syntax in its version
of Go. Similarly, Scala, I think, is only superficially
catering to the ever popular omissive style.
