Syntax Proposals

[theypsilon]

This issue is to discuss changes on the syntax that could or could not happen at the version 1.0.

I'm not particularly happy with the current syntax, and I couldn't come up with something better, so any feedback in this regard would be highly appreciated.

My goals would be the following:

• Syntax must be greppable. Right now, I can achieve that thanks to the fn and : parts.
• Syntax must be not too verbose. I have the feeling that the need to use a pair of attributes is verbose on its own, so it would be great if we can reduce the verbosity within these margins.
• Syntax must be easy to remember, and close to idiomatic.
• Syntax shouldn't look too magic or confusing.

After all that being said, I don't think syntax is super important. And minor or opinionated changes shouldn't be taken seriously unless the advantages are clearly worth it. If there is no big improvements in this front, syntax will stay the same as it is now.
