shift sucks more since there's 2 strokes that have to go together. unshifted pinkie action is generally ok by me.

Colon is a shifted character on my keyboard. Did you mean semicolon here?

I don't miss use of semicolons in languages that mostly work without them. They read like line-noise to me most of the time. An exception is stuff like `for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)`, where we want to separate statements or expressions on a single line.

yes, yes i do.
